because people like to buy shiny things.DBforlife said:. . . in other words the pipe header and muffler has no benifit to my bike? if this is true than why would they make it if the money is not worth it?
Same reason you want new graphics, doesn't make the bike any fast just look better.XRpredator said:because people like to buy shiny things.

Rich Rohrich said:It's a 9 horsepower engine stock. No pipe on the planet will make 5-6 horsepower on that bike.
Your money would be better spent on a Powroll Thrust Chamber for your stock exhaust.
If you want to change the response of the engine further get the flywheel lightened.
.... or you could just save your money and go ride.;)
do people even know how to use a google or yahoo or msn search anymore? :|DBforlife said:what does the thrust chamber do? how much will it help my power? where can i get one and how much.
thanks

the google search engine said:Results 1 - 10 of about 9,170 for powroll. (0.12 seconds)
yesDBforlife said:does it mount inbetween the end of the exhaust and the spark arrester?
Patman said:It increases the volume (not noise but like 1 liter vs 2 liter bottle of Coke volume) of the canister. I'll venture a guess it gives at least comprable performance increases as that pipe you were looking at.
Let me clarify something for you the "opinions" you are getting are based in way more fact and practical experience than most anyplace else.
There is nothing wrong with wanting bling for your bike just so long as you don't try to justify it with the assumption it is doing something (creating power) that it really doesn't. I too have a little mid size bike. Ours is a worked over XR80 that now has 95cc, Hot Cam, Kibblewhite valve, etc... all done by Rich's hand. Actually twice as my son bent the valves on it twice :bang: (hence the reason he then went to a CR85 and now a CR125). Anyway the point is by following good advice and reasonable thinking we have a little bike that we kept around because it was sooooo freaking good! Yes it does have an aftermarket exhaust as well but it was custom made by Bob at Thunder Alley and it actually does offer performance benifit even though it's no where near 66% LOL!. It's very similar to this one http://www.xr100.com/images/outlaw pipes/ttr outlaw pipe 1.jpg available for your bike. But here's the thing I had the exhaust made AFTER the engine mods were finalized so that it was made to work WITH the modifications. Since the one I linked for you is tunable to some extent it could work if you choose to make more extensive modifications. Look at some of the other items available on the XR100.com and Powroll sites for your bike as well. The shaved flywheel is a big performance boost for your bike and should be both easy to get done locally at a machine shop. Look at frame connectors or a "cradle" for your bike, another good item to actually improve your bike.
