    Another exhaust question (200x)

    I will hopefully be in the market for a new pipe and silencer for my 200x. I've narrowed it down to 2

    1. Cobra Megaphone. retails for $100

    2.. DG/RMC. retails for the same $100

    This will be the most money I would like to spend. Anyone used or have these on there machines? Can I get some feedback (pros & cons) liked - Disliked.

    This purchase is a couple weeks if not longer away any thoughts.....

    Crappy DG alloy is $109

    Better Alloy RCM is $154

    Krome Power is $150

    The crappy DG alloy is the same garbage the Cobra is made of. If your really on a budget you'll be very upset that you spent the money on a turd that honestly rusts out in a week making your whole trike look crappy. Sorry no pics of the krome power

    Me too. Well worth the extra $$. VERY good looking and DIFFERENT !!

    I dig the flat ovalness of the exhaust. Cool.

    Chris, go weigh you stock one and see what the difference is. This one is 12lbs.

    I've narrowed the two mentioened about because they are in my price range. Not that I'm really fond of any of the two but that is the most I will be able to spend being on a limited budget and all. I'm not to concerned about the noise. Just which one will give me more bang for my buck? I really like the supertrapp but they are out of my price range.

    Let me ask this... Is it just possible to buy the muffler and mount that to the stock header or would that just defeat the purpose?

    IMO those DG Excellerators are fugly MoFos! I had the RCM aluminum and loved it. That's the one I'd recomend.

    The dg's on the 350x you can put the supertrapp end pieces on it. I am not quite sure about the 200's but I would assume the same. Powroll I think sells a supertrapp looking replica or may even be the supertrapp check them as well.

    Thanks for all the reply guys but I still don't know wich direction I'm going in. Why do you think the cobra rusts out so quickliy ane the made of steel? Feel free to jump in here and tell me what you all think. As i haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks again for the replys.

    I'm really not to concerned with topend speed I like the power in the low and mid ranges.

    I'm running 20" holeshots on the back and have a 1 up from stock front sprocket. Anyone have some suggestions on which way to go? and as mentioned before I really don't have a ton of money to throw into this thing.
    Oh; I also am running a uni filter...don;t know if that maters though.

    Why don't you just get the muffler of the supertrapp and attach a pipe extention to fit into header.

    That way you can tune the power- noise to your liking. You add or remove the disc in the back to tune it.

    I had 2 of them over the years. For 50 bucks, it's a lot better deal then the other 2.

    Your gearing should work out well I would think.

    so Gary, are you saying on of those mufflers would bolt up right to the honda stock header? Hmmm,,, best idea I've heard so far. Anykind of fabricatting to be done that way? Howmuch is the full trapp system maybe $150 or more huh? I still have some time to think this through. Hey How about that place down past your place...Larry's??? might be able to find some stuff there cheap/er.
