hi im looking for a pipe better than a fmf fatty,

Hello William;

It would help if you told us what you wanted to be "better" about another pipe.

What do you not like about yours?

[barnett468]

The pipe in photo is purportedly a CT. It looks like the one in your ebay link. I don't remember if FMF made more than one type of pipe. If they did, I don't know which one the person below had.

I just replaced my FMF pipe with a CT pipe and the difference is amazing.. It sounds better, it pulls harder... $144.73 shipped on Ebay.. The deals are out there...

Why do you say Fattys are crappy?

Because there are a lot of other pipes that perform better..

That totally depends on what you want your power focused on and what other mods you are using along with it.

Yes, Arlan handbuilt my entire exhaust system. It's on my bike in my sig pic

True, but i've ran most pipes that are offered for the ATC's and IMO the fatty offered the least amount gained. But i guess it does depend on where you want your power focused.

That I understand. But I would hardly call fatty's crappy....Especially when you can grab holeshots down a 200 ft stretch amongst 450 conversions.
It is not about a this vs. that of racing or rider.

But What I would like to see is people get away from putting down products based on internet conversation or mass public opinion that may not have the best research or facts behind those opinions.
In a world of products that grows smaller everyday for these 3 wheelers, I would prefer a manufacture not get on a forum and read terms of "crappy, junk, or POS" in reference to a product that is still being produced.
As long as the product performs well and does what it is intended to do. Instead, I would like to see everyone base thoughts or opinions a little more factual and polite so that a guy that makes pipes primarily for a new age of 4 strokes (which I am sure he can do just fine without selling 3 wheeler pipes) does not read on forums that a pipe he has made for 20+ years being referred to in a derogatory way, to make him say "well if they don't like it.."F" it... I will just quit making the product" which leaves us with one less thing provided for these old machines.
By all means if something is flawed or causes problems then yeah it should be pointed out.

But I digress. If the OP wants a "top end pipe" then yes the Fatty is not really a top end pipe. He may want to look at the ESR 5 or a Paul Turner Hi Rev.
But My FMF Fatty has served me very well.

[Mosh]

And just to add the OP was asking about porting or buying used ported jugs a few days ago. IMHO, I would advise he port the cylinder and do the engine mods first. The FMF can run well on ported engines with big carbs. I should know ^^^.

Then if he decides he wants to amplify those engine mods then move into pipes. but if we are strictly talking dumping a pipe on a stock 250R, then throwing the best top end pipe at it will be disappointing. For instance I know from personal experience if you put a ESR 5 pipe on a stock 250R you could very well make the misinformed assumption the ESR pipe does not perform well. But that is not the case. It is a great pipe but you need some power to really see the benefits of what it can do.
