It shouldnt make any difference or at least not enough to be noticeable. I am going to move this over to the tech section.

heheeh alot cheaper than a new one though. I missed a trinity pipe and silencer a week or so ago :( This guy claims this pipe is better than a Paul Turner. I have heard the Bills pipes were good, but also he is trying to sell it I'm sure :D

I just bolted on a used pipe purchased from Kasey, it is a CT midrange ( National I assume) havn't tried it yet. Let me know how that Bills Pipe works out for ya. By the way, my freaken' government nailed me almost 30.00 Can. bucks in taxes when the pipe was delivered........:mad: But, at least it is finally here....:chuckle:

Tried that pipe today. Had to use the stock silencer with no spark arrestor. Had to jet down from a 138 to a 135 to not foul plugs. The bottom was awful, mid was still the same, but it had more top end. The bottom is WAY to rich, and top is a little lean. I am thinking I need a different needle, and a CT silencer would help I hope. I am going to phone CT on monday, they were not answering their phone today........My buddies Banshee with T5 Toomeys is still kickin my arse.....:mad: (But not by much, and not untill I hit 5th) :p

cool, glad to hear it helped the top end that is it's good if that's where the power was wanted. I have a feeling most midrang/topend pipes probably add most of the power on the topend. I would like more power in the mid to top end, but I don't want to sacrifice my bottom either, and it be actually worse. I'll let you know how the Bill's pipe does when I get it put on.
