[b]rev vs torque pipes[/b]

not sure if this'll help..., but:

my 99 220 was purchased used with an FMF rev pipe & turbine core silencer.  even set up like this, "ol' gouge" has a much stronger and more tractable low end that my long forgotten RMX.  one of my riding buddies has his 200 set up with a torque pipe & same silencer.  except for the ergo's you'd have trouble telling the bikes apart.  engine power characteristics are almost identical.  another buddy has retained the stock pipe on his 220, and added a turbine core silencer.  it pulls like a tractor from idle (like a stocker), and rev's considerable more than stock.

don't know how hard i'd listen to anybody telling me i'd ruinied my bike by installing the wrong pipe/silencer/airbox/jetting/etc. mods.  maybe you ruined it for them..., but they're not riding it, eh?  make the changes & have fun experimenting.  you might find (like one DRN contributer) that you'll have one setup for one purpose, and setup differently for another purpose.  hell..., it's easier to change pipes/silencers than it is to change a tire!!

if you don't have "gouges", you're not trying hard enough!
