RE: opinions on pipes?
i noticed that the jetpro is around 170.00 and was wondering if anyone has used it, or better yet has used both the fg and jetpro and could compair the two.

No idea on that pipe. I have the FG Pipe on my Monster Beetle. I love it. It pulls the front wheels off the ground with no problem. Sounds really good too.

All the pipes you are talking about are aluminum.... here are the only polished standard steel pipes on the market (they have a longer life span than aluminum pipes) www.speedracer.co.uk owner Steve has raced with the same Top 3 mini steel tune pipe for going on 3 years now, while other people he has raced against, have gone through a pipe a year. You can get the pipes in the USA at www.fg-hopups.com
Top 3 mini with a flexable header...........................................t he other a fixed pipe

I have run both the FG and Jetpro. IMO the jetpro is the best pipe for the money. It is a steel pipe with a lifetime warantee. If it ever brakes the guy will fix it for free all you have to do is pay postage. It produces a lot more power than the FG pipe. It is real loud and sounds awsome. Sounds like a dirt bike. After driving the MT with the Jetpro the FG pipe sounds like a vacuum cleaner. I have not seen any real tests done on the pipe but I would bet the jetpro would beat all other pipes in power.

I to have the FG tuned pipe. It is ok, makes wheelies easily, but i am having problem with the joining platsic pipe as it leaks. I have modified it once, but thats has not worked. now onto plan 2 and see of that works. The pipe is very brittle and easily dented and scratched, not good. i supose you get what you pay for.
I going to save up some more and either get the samba or one of those steel polished pipes that hellya mentioned.

RE: opinions on pipes?
Just because a pipe is louder does not mean it is making more HP.
1.Has anyone done a radar run between the two pipes?
2.Does anyone have any dyno info?
