Paul Turner...live up to the hype???

[350xBomb]

Im lookin into a new Pual Turner Hi Rev pipe....But a 23% power increase seems a little exagerated. Is it really worth the $350 MSRP (chrome of course)? I have an FMF silencer now with a stock pipe, Boysen reeds but not sure what kind, and a K&N filter. will this set up work with the PT to be worth the $350 or should I upgrade silencer/reeds/filter etc. before I get the pipe? Tryin to mod my 350 was way more involved than this. Im lovin the 2 stroke :D :D :D
Thanks for the help.

Personally I have ridden with DG, FMF, and others and Paul Turner, hands down gave the best performance. It really seems to wake up the engine and give it the necessary power you need. I am sure you can get them much cheaper from other sites, but it just depends on if you want the bling bling chrome or not.

I just punched in "paul turner 250R" on ebay and there were no ATC pipes or any TN sellers

This might be personal preference, but i would go with ESR.

Yeap! that PT high rev pipe is sweat but say bye-bye to your bottom end power. The top end with this pipe will be insane compaired to stock. Depending on what you ride from day to day. I'd say if your into dunes, oval, or TT this is a great pipe. If you ride the woods and trails stay away from the high rev.

You should be fine with this pipe.. no need to upgrade anything until you feel like it. A K&N is a top of the line filter (so the most upgrading you can do is getting a new one), and Boyesens aren't bad.

I TOTALLY disagree with this. I saw no lose in low end from this pipe to the type 6. Just more power yet everywhere else.

i hill climb and ride trails with mine and i like it alot. If i'd stop being lazy and get my jetting perfect it would probably be alot better. Not so much he location as it is the riding style that determines whether its a good pipe for you. If you don't mind keeping it wound up and working the clutch to death then its good all over.

pt high revs are the shiznitle!!!i love em.you will see no lose in bottom end with a stock motor.if you have a top end port,you will notice a loss in low end,but it hits so hard in the middle,it really don't matter.i gurantee you will not be dissapointed in either a type 6,or high rev.i have ran both,are they are hands down the best pipe out there.now go buy one!!!!

You got shill bidded against on that auction. I was watching it and was willing to bid up slightly higher than what you got it for but when it hit 280.00 on the second day from a zero feedback bidder, I said to hell with it. I think at one point it got bidded up to like $302 or something then, of course, both the high bidders retracted their bids after they maxed you out. :rolleyes:

You got a decent deal on it in the end so don't feel bad. It just pisses me off when sellers do that. The seller would have gotten more money for it in the end had the shill bids not turned me off from the auction. Just goes to show, cheap tactics don't always pay off in the end.

Sorry for the rant.

i got in a bidding war with ridetrikes250r, ha ha then i emailed him i was like look out. i wanted that pipe. ha ha

hell he went on about ESR pipes so i didnt know why he was bidding, but i guess he just seen a good deal.

[Trike Dude]

I love my Type 6 I have on my '86 R. Hits hard and is very noticable in performance gain over the stock.

I also like the fact that I paid $62 for mine :w00t:

Which one was him? That all looked real suspicious but I guess I was wrong.

I like the hi-rev on my bike, it hits so hard in mid range that it can throw you off the bike if you aren't prepared for it. I have to agree, bottom end is lost, but the mid and top more than make up for it.

[ChrisD]

I run PT hi-revs on both of my R's. It's a great pipe.

http://www.motojoe.com/atv/paulturner/pipes/2strokes.htm Here is a link to some PT pipes. Seem cheap before the chrome plating at $219. Pipe and silncer kit is a good price too.

I ride primarily in the sand, hit the sand trials every now and then but my passion is the big dunes. Wow pretty much unanimous. Sounds like the Hi Rev will be the way to go. And if its not, I dont think I would have much trouble getting rid of it.
