Is it just me, or is it that hard to find after market exhaust for Cannondale's anymore? I was looking at Big Gun a while back, but now I can't find anything, can some one show me the light......

 

Most people get the HMF it's still available.

 

Yes. Definately go with the HMF on a Cannondale

 

KNOWSALOT - what others have you tried?

I'm not getting into a Pizzin match but I am not impressed with what I've seen or heard from the HMF. Nor the dyno sheets.

 

I have tried the Moto exhaust and the Wileyco [Not the 03 OEM]

If you go back through these Cannondale forum pages over the past two years, there have been many posts regarding the HMF exhaust for the Cannondale quads.

Dyno sheets from pipe manufacturers [including HMF] are useless. Different dynos, different temps,...etc.....etc

All of the guys that I sold them to this year have been greatly satisfied with them.

Everyone has their own preferene, but the HMF has been the top pipe for Cannondale owners ever since they came out.

I noticed on your page that you plan to run some GNCCs this year. What class do you plan to run? Maybe I'll catch with you at one of them.

 

I was wondering if you had any experience with the TC is why I asked. My friend and I also make a TC style canister that fits the 03 header... which nobody else does. Everyone recommends the HMF but I don't know anyone that has a TC that would run an HMF. I think HMF sells pipes because HMF is popular, not because of any excellent performance. But it is easy to think they are great when going from stock and never trying another aftermarket pipe....

If I run any GNCC it will be in the slow man's class - I have never raced before. Just got the Cdale and have ridden it about 7 times - damn college.

What class do you run?

 

I run the B class in the AHSS and MMCC and the 4 stroke C class in the MSWHS.

In GNCC it's the 4 Stroke Stock or 4 Stroke C class. This will be my first year with the GNCC series, so I'm jumping in unchartered waters myself......LOL

You could be absolutley right about the "popular" thing regarding the pipes. It's just that most don't want to be the guniea pig in the area with a pipe that might not work as their buddies.......Whatever works I guess.

 

You still running a Cdale dealer right? PM me if you want to talk about trying out something different. Money back guarantee LOL

I've jumped from the Wolverine to the Blaze and the change is going to take a while. Plus I'm trying to get it all setup and that costs money I don't have [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Yeah. Right now there are still a few left on the floor. [1]2002 Cannibal [1]2003 Speed and [2]2003 Cannibal

No worries though. Still have Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki,Kawasaki, and KTM to keep us busy.

I have been talking with the guys at Dinli for the last couple of months. It's going to be a wait and see thing with them. Even if they bring out something great, I will most likely try to beome a parts dealer with them only fof the first year or so. And then go from there.

Don't be concerned with alot of mods for racing a hare scramble.

Just a few things that I learned to adapt the Cannondale for the woods........

1. A good set of nerfbars
2. Handlebars that flex a bit [ProTaper or similar design]
3. Comfortable grips [I've found nothing better than the Oury brand....and they are cheap!!]
4. And never, never, never run a race with the stock ITP wheels that came on the Cannondales. Very weak and doesn't take much to bend them up severly....ending your day.

Talk to ya later

 

I think I got all those things stock on my Blaze... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I don't need anything to get ready for GNCC but I was also setting the bike up for MX for fun and that is where it gets expensive.

Oh, and the motor mods are pricey too. I'd like to get my crank taken care of, head port/polish is coming now, maybe a 450 kit, ya know the good stuff. The stuff that will keep me in front of the blue and red of the world.
