    Three Wheeler Drag Pipe

    If any of you guys could supply me with some pictures or info about how people have donr outside the frame drag pipes on three wheeler that would be great. I am most interested in how they are secured and how silencers have been integrated. I can do the math to figure out the shape and can fabricate the thing. I just need some reference material.
    Also, if anyone knows where I can buy such things or possibly has any other advice, that would be great.

    I tried www.planetsand.com and posted essentially the same question there as well as searching the site for a few hours and I still can't come up with any pictures of trikes with big drag pipes. Any other ideas?

    Theres a guy named Dave thats out on the west coast, its either Oregon or Washington state, but he has a shope called MP Racing. He had a ATC250R with a drag pipe, and I'm pretty sure he made it himself and sells them. I've heard he is a real good guy and I've also heard he's a less then desireable person to deal with. I do not have any personal experience with him so I can't say either way with certainty. Do a search for MP racing on a Google and you should find something.

    Do a search!! There is a such thing as a search button on 98% of most forums. They work! They work great! Instead of asking the same question someone else asked 2 weeks before, and someone else 2 weeks before that... take the time to use your resources. I know of a dozen dragster 3 wheelers on planetsand. But like me, dont like to post pics, and reply to every single post made about a subject thats has been covered 100 times allready.

    I couldn't finad any pics on www.planetsand.com, and I searched alot. However no matter what I put in for keywords, it kept giving me the same garbage, so maybe I was doing something wrong. At any rate, if some one has an actual web address for MP Racing that would be great all I have found so far is dead pages where the web site used to be.

    If you are looking for a pipe like the one in this pic go to this link and e-mail 344PV. Click on search, under author put 344PV and scroll down and pick catagory 3wheeler forums. Then just click on any of his post, then scroll untill you see his screen name and click the e-mail option. Maybe he will be able to help you. If you have any problems let me know, I'll see what I can do.

    Thanks for all of the info. I have found a few places to have one made. I still haven't found that many pictures of them. It doesn't look like I'll be able to come up with one by Memorial Day Weekend.

    WOW I never have seen the front of one of his machines. I've seen the rear a few times.

    Yeah I seen it when we went down this spring. I'm not sure what I think of that paint job. It looks 100 times better in real life. I like the bright painted stuff better.
