YZ 465 Exhaust

[SMarquez]

I just got a 1980 YZ465 and the pipe has had a Mickey Mouse repair to the header at the slip joint. It looks like someone just wrapped some metal around the burned out portion and snot welded it. It just makes a big mess since it is not a good fit. So, of the aftermarket pipes out there, has anyone tried them out to give some input about their performance?
Thanks,
Steve

well steve i dont know if pro circuit makes a pipe for your bike but they are some what cheap in price but i love the one i got on my bike also fmf will give you good performance i know that both of them are realy great for their prices. i dont know your price rang though.

I can afford pretty much whatever is out there, I just want to be sure my money is well spent. I can't find listings for YZ465 from PC or FMF unless someone has some new old stock sitting around. I can't find Pro-form info though I hear about their pipes. It looks like DG and Circle f are most readily available.

I bought a rocket pipe for my 390 Husky and the workmanship was excellent.

Kinda late but I have a DG National pipe on my '80 YZ465.Nice pipe.Good midrange but a big hit around 4K with a rush to overrev.I also have a good stock pipe if ya wanna keep it stock.

Thanks for your reply, thats what I was looking for. So what do you want for the stock pipe? Can you PM me?
