I have a Novarossi pipe on my MT12 and it hauls butt. It's built for greater high speeds though and won't do much for yer low end. If you want blistering torque then go with a Rex pipe, they have fat expansion chambers to boost low end punch. Here are som good pipes for screwing around with.

I was looking at the cvec pipes. Someone told me they were illegal. Is that true?

ROAR says that pipes cannot have any moving parts. The CVEC has an adjustable cone inside. No good if yuo follow the rule book but it's a great pipe if you just want speed.

Check out the Paris ringed pipes also, they are a good combination of speed and torque.

You can take out the baffle that is inside of the pipe; it won't hurt anything. At worst it'll make yer (I'm using this as an example) .12 sound like a .21, but thats a cool thing.........right?

I have heard that the Adam Drake pipes are really good also. I am running a Paris pipe on my MST-1 with the MT12 engine and will be switching to the Adam Drake pipe soon. The Paris pipe is ok just does my low end no good
