Status: offline 		I run the JP 3 because it's $25 less than the JP 4..and the 4 has a bit more HP everywhere..not sure if i would really notice..lol..but the $25 I did notice..right away. The Dynamite series of of pipes look good..plus they have a good price

I tried the Dynamite 086 and it killed the runtime.

I was getting about 7 minutes on my 28XZ with the JP-3, 5:30 tops with the 086 Dynamite.

It may have been due to my heavy trigger finger finding a bit more top end, tho.....

Status: offline 		Thats with a 9mm insert and an extremely heavy throttle finger, running rich.

Here lately my XZ likes to go lean about 5 minutes in, temps shoot up and the only way to keep it in check is to run it rich.

I've checked and double checked everything, including pressure testing the motor.
I can't find any leaks.
New tank/line/filter, header gaskets, etc.... no dice.

It's got me kind of stumped.

I'm constantly amazed how people get on here and try to put doubts
in the minds of other peoples' rigs. 3 times in the first 3 posts here.

Are you serious!

10 mins!

Thats some serious run time for a 28,

I have a buddy running a Drake, picco .28 hes getting around 5 to 6 mins,
He is running a JP pipe.. think its the 2

With the CL7B i'm getting right at 12mins

Didn't relize the pipe played such a huge role in fuel consumption

Let me see..I had the second post..What doubt did i put forth ?..Price should be a consideration on any product you buy..I did say that the JP-4 HAS more hp everywhere..but it's a small amount of "more" HP over the JP-3..I have both pipes and can not really tell a difference in performance from the 2 of them..so for me I will save the $25 and get the JP-3..

Do certain pipes have better fuel economy than others?

Of corse....pipes play a HUGE role in how a motor performs on the track.

JP 3, JP 4 or the buku pipe for a muggy, is the jp3 better than the jp4?

THANKS

What engine is the pipe set up going on? A jp-3 is a decent all around pipe, if the pocket book allows (or in my case, the wife) grab a 2013 pipe, either a siro or werks. It will wake and engine up all the way through the power band.
The bukiu pipe isnt legal for roar or pro series event, only single stinger exhausts.
