This month's MXA magazine answered someone's write in question about dents in a 2-stroke pipe. Their answer was that as long as the dents were 6 inches or more away from the cylinder, they wouldn't significantly affect performance.

LMAO...... That dent wont affect it....If that was the case FMF would have put it there.. But most people wont notice the performance loss on a 500.

Really? I was under the impression that FMF and all the other aftermarket companies were capitalists and wanted to maximize their profits versus their costs. The extra dent would cost them (and wouldn't look as pretty).pstoffers wrote:LMAO...... That dent wont affect it....If that was the case FMF would have put it there..
MXA claims to have run dyno tests back to back with new versus (intentionally) dented 2-stroke pipes. They claim that sometimes, the dent actually increased hp very slightly.

hmm ill have to look into it...Tharrell wrote:MAPP gas is the yellow cylinder at the hardware store.
It's hotter, it works if you're not impatient.
As far as MXA goes, they sell magazines.
I don't really abide by their every word nor should anyone else.
I don't know, maybe I just prefer my shit to be in order.
It's a Jersey thing.
i agree i would much rather the dent not be there personally... ill have to look for some good pipe plugs while im getting my motor plugs to do my leak down test before firing this thing off....
or see if i can get the gnarly bent into shape so it will fit.....

ive never noticed power loss from a dent there, and the mxa tests looked legit, why would they dent 6 diffrent pipes and take pics, then make up some dyno #s?Their answer was that as long as the dents were 6 inches or more away from the cylinder, they wouldn't significantly affect performance.
i think the test was done on a 125sx so for the 500 its prolly the first 12 inches that matter most
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

You can get them on ebay or just build your own.
I can get you some pics of mine tomorrow or maybe someone else has some pics handy.
