Hi folks, this is my firt time on any chat room so please bear with me. I have a 2002 Scrambler 500 4x4. I have the HPD pipe, airbox, clutch kit and have rejetted it. I love the bike but I am not happy with the HPD pipe. I am a pretty aggressive rider and like to jump. As a result, the Hpd pipe has come apart twice at the front rivets. Any opinions on different pipes would be appreciated. Also, any recommendations on wether to go slip-on or full pipe kit?

Welcome to the forums!
Have you contacted HPD regarding this problem? I have not had any problems with my HPD pipe, with the exception of blowing some muffler packing out. Their pipe is the best performing exhaust out there. And if you were to go with a slip-on, I dont know whether or not it will fit the HPD head pipe. I would contact HPD and see if they can help you out

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't contacted them. I cut the turned down tip off the muffler because it stirred up so much dust, so I figured they probably would tell me to pound sand on any type of warranty. Are we talkinking about the same pipe? Mine is about 5" in diameter. It looks like they may have more than 1 style.

Bigbadscrambler, nice bike! It looks like the same although it looks like yours is polished. Like i said, I ride pretty hard and like to jump. In fact, I just snapped the stock rear axle from a jump and replaced it with a Durablue. My pipe came apart where the inlet is riveted to the main body. The rivets just wore through the aluminum. I liked the performance and sound of the pipe, I'm just not sure it's built sturdy enuf.

Thanks! Mine is polished (lots of hard work and many showers later[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]). I would still call HPD and see if they can recommend a fix to your problem. I am not sure whether or not another exhaust will stand up to the abuse also.
