hey guys, i have a question, if i get the stage on kit with the hpd pipe and ricks silencer is it still 325? is there a big diff between his pipe and hpds. i have heard that hpds has more power?

 

Well depends on what year of Trail Blazer you have. I ordered some stuff from Rick at the begginning of the this week. I ordered the RCR pipe, and silencer, and then a clutch kit. Rick said the HPD pipe and RCR pipe are very very close in performance. What i did hear is that HPD stopped making there pipe for the 1998 and older Trail Blazers. The pipe, silencer, and the clutch kit i got with jets was more than $325, but not by far. He said the setup i am going with will work well for wheeling, and mudd. PLus i will port it and do other things. I would suggest you to call Rick he is a great guy to talk to, and really knows his stuff.

 

do u have the hpd or rcr pipe? which one did u get low mid or top? i want mine to be good in mud and wheelie but also go good on the straights, scott

 

The HPD pipe is great in all throttle positions. The RCR pipe, you have to pick where you want most of your power. I really liked the HPD trailpipe.

 

I got the low mid pipe, rick said it will be a huge notice from stock, and will have no problem wheeling and giving a roost, but i also got the clutch kit. Not the agressive one becuase i ain't gonna race port it. Rick said HPD was good too, and that they are about the same, his will be more noticable on the bottom and mid range, but will not lose any top aswell. If you a 1998 or older TB250, u can't get HPD.

 

it sounds like i want the hpd pipe but does it still only cost 325 to switch ricks pipe with the hpd and just get the single clutch spring?

 

I belive that i only paid $325 for my kit with the hpd pipe, but rick said it was because of the year of my quad. I told him it was a 1999, like the manuel says, but found out later that it is a 2000, and the stuff still works. I dont have the recept, because my dad paid for it with a credit card and i paid him back, so i am not 100% sure. Hope this helps

 

Thats not true. I have a 2003 tb250 with the stage 1 kit and i have the HPD pipe. you must get the hpd if you have a 2003 or above because they changed the frames and ricks pipes wont fit. deffinatley an improvement over stock. low is a little dissapointing just a tad bit better but once it hits mid it is deffinatly noticable. top end is improved also.

 

oh and mt kit cost $340 delivered to the house.

 

just get a freakin pipe man!! its will def be better than what u got unless its a dg!
