Rob Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nothing too technical I hope! I would like noisier pipes on my TZR 2502ma. Notwithstanding the reduced weight, increased performance, etc, etc. I'm not interested at all in going faster - just want something that looks better and sounds nicer. Would something like this be a good idea? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TZR250-TDR250-NIKON-PIPES-EXHAUSTS-1KT-2MA-2YK-3CK-/200813767573?clk_rvr_id=383812386501&mfe=sidebar More importantly, do I need to take into consideration changing jets when changing exhausts? Is there ever such a thing as a straight swap when exhausts are concerned? Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks for the replies... Liked the videos. Maybe I can re-phrase my original question, with my novice hat on..... When replacing standard for after-market pipes, do I need to be concerned with re-jetting, when increasing performance is not the primary concern. Those of you who have read some of my other posts may understand when I say I want it to be loud enough to make my presence aware to other road users who insist on using the highway whilst using mp3 players, or some other form of distraction!

wazrs257 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 When replacing standard for after-market pipes, do I need to be concerned with re-jetting, when increasing performance is not the primary concern. Regardless of what you're looking for from a set of pipes, most aftermarket ones will require a degree of rejetting from stock. You may get away with it if you're just going to bimble around enjoying the noise, but if you use it in anger, it'll need jetting to suit. Those ones in your link look fucked, what is your bubget?

2Smoke Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 You might be better off getting Martin77 to make you a set. I've used his on my TZR and they needed no re-jetting and gave a nice increase in power! I also have some on my TDR.. NSR...LC etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin77 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hello... yep, as2smoke says, I can make you some 2MA pipes, lightweight and give a nice boost to the midrange power (not that you care about such things)..I'll PM you some details in a moment or two... but they do make it sound a bit more interesting at the very least.

LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES, when youve reached a level where your ears ring with earplugs & ear muffs on .......................its about spoton (or get a blue whale to ride pillion i think they have a wicked decibell output, wont help your power to weight though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin77 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hmm.... I would say have a word with Kenny Gubbins, I know he has designed pipes for the VJ23, but you'd have to ask him for more details http://www.twostrokeaddicts.co.uk/ Developing pipes from scratch takes quite alot of time you know..
