I've been doing some comparison shopping for a pipe for the Raptor and was wondering about the Alba pipe. Price wise it's about middle of the road and from the pictures in the magazine it looks pretty decent. Does anyone out there have one? I'd like to hear some opinions on performance gains, sound, fit and finish. Thanks!!!

 

I have the Alba pipe kit and like it. Of course I bought my bike new from them with it on and don't really have anything to compare it to. In the last month or so the pipe did start to separate at the joints which are held together with springs and it developed a small leak. I had to take the whole thing off and reseat it in order to get rid of the leak. It has maintained 90% of it's original color, much better that many of the pipes I have seen.

 

Thanks for the response! How's the sound with the Alba pipe? Can you compare it to any other aftermarket pipes that you may have heard?

 

I think it sounds great. Not too loud but it does have a good rumble to it.
