Feedback On Gutting Stock Pipe On 2001 220

[BRYDEN1]

Has Any One Else Tried Gutting The Stock 220 Pipe? If So How Did It Work? How Does It Compare To Pipes From Fmf?

buddy did it to his 200 and he luvs it , looks a little frankensteined but for free compared to spending $180 . i would not do it cause it aint got that purty shine :)

I gutted my E2's pipe, it's better than stock...

I'd like an FMF but I don't want to spend $170 then have to buy a protector, then ding up the pipe anyway.



I've got a few small pin leaks on the weld since I didn't clean it enough before welding it back up... it's a frankenweld and I get some boot spooge from it.

Can someone point me to some procedures for gutting the stock pipe?

OK, I found the "tech tips" section on pipe mods. It references the 89-94 pipe. Does anyone know if the later model (2004) pipes respond to similar mods?

I don't think so on 95-04's...think they are double walled, but don't have the "mesh" wire guts in em like the older ones.

Thanks CC but i have already seen that post. What i would really like to know is what improvement would be seen between a properly jetted stock pipe and a properly jetted gutted pipe. In the thread you referenced the jetting alone may be responsible for the gain in performance.

The shape of the two (oem and aftermarket) is not at all the same..and shape is what it's all about.

Weight matters. That difference is considerable.

The oem pipe IS pretty tough, though. Much moreso than any aftermarket pipe.

Find yourself a platinum II PC pipe, admire its beauty for the ten seconds it's still there and be done with it.

How about that?

Fair enough. I was pretty much sold on a FMF torque pipe any way. As soon as the next chinook melts the remaining snow I think I will gut the stock pipe just to see what happens.

In reference to an archived post of yours....
