What pipe did you switch to?
Thunder Alley. This thing is designed to really pick up the bottom/mid. The head pipe is 8" longer than stock. The builder is a nice guy and builds every single pipe that leaves his shop one at a time, to order.
He made the pipe on my CRF450R and when the YFZ came out, I called and asked if he'd make one for it. At that point, I was requesting a custom-made pipe. He said "no problem, I've got a friend at the Yamaha shop and I'll get a bike in here to fit a pipe and call you when it's ready.
Is his pipe any better/worse than anyone else's? Who knows. I do like the fact that when I call him, I'm speaking w/ the guys who actually make the pipe and who's name is on the door. He supports his customers too - he want's you to be happy with the pipe. His only form of advertising is word of mouth. You'd be suprised how many folks run his pipes.
Hell, now I've written all this and it may get deleted cause he's not a YFZcentral sponsor - oh well.
