hey guys i have a fmf pipe on my scrambler 400 and must say i hate it.where the pipe connect's to the engine,its at such a angle i dont even know how it makes a good seal,also the bottom of the expansion chamber hits my motor..fmf is a no no..my question is will the hpd trail pipe be the same way?

 

I have the HPD trail pipe on my Scrambler. It fits and looks just as good as the stock pipe. You do have to trim the black plastic heat shield that runs along the right side of the seat, but all the trimming is done on the back and you can't see it when it's put back together. The directions tell you where and how to trim.

 

im not worried about the heat shieild,thats is off anyhow..i just dont want another pipe rubbing against my engine..

 

YES the HPD,HOT Seat,and aaen trail pipes are about the same.Ive seen them before and I have had the hot seat and hpd trail pipes.All of those pipes take up much room near the motor. these pipes also melt the plastics and burn your leg.
I'm not sure what you can do if you aren't looking for a higher RPM range But, if you are looking to Pump up your bike more I would go with a race pipe From CPI or HPD.
THe hpd Pipe is ok but it does crack and I didn't like the seal it made on the motor.SO, I have a CPI pipe .

 

with the race pipe's you should use a forged piston with it.i need a new pipe before i get my hpd trailmod so i dont know if i should run a race pipe with the stock piston?i wanted the race pipe,but ppl tell me they wont run good with the trailmod and ppl also tell me they will,so i dont know if i should get it or not..some more opinons?, to help me deside would be great..
