1 You realy don't know shit about exhaust if that's your opinion. Cheap??? look at those weldings and pumped header. There ar very few pipes who have that. Every VTM exhaust is a masterpiece. Finished perfectly.
2 a pr2 or evo2 exhaust will never get near the performance of a VTM.
3 a c21 THAT is a cheap looking exhaust, build in a few minutes.
#1) I said the exhaust LOOKS cheap, not is cheap, LOOKS cheap.
#2) If it's such a "masterpeice" then how come there isn't a huge demand for those pipes? How come Mr.VTM hasn't continued production and also made newer models? I've only ever seen them twice before, and they didn't impress me that much. It's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it thank you.
#3) a PR2 (newer model with straighter header) will perform just as well if not better than that old VTM pictured.....I let one of the guys who has one try my pipe it it scored +.7 hp over the VTM.
#4) I could buy a cheap looking yasuni C21 and a new malossi variator for the price of that pipe, and it'd STILL out-perform the VTM. The yasuni may look cheap also, but it out-performs it, which makes it worth more to me.
Listen to what people like Browni have to tell you dude. You can look at that pipe and tell it's made out of cheap metal. The welds aren't any better than those on a PR2 or Malossi Team and to me, it's not worth the price. I pay twice as much money for my parts just because of where I live in the world. When you're paying $500 US for a cyl, $500 for a pipe, etc. you learn to research you're shit to make sure it'll run awesome on you're set-up. I know about the VTM, never said it was a peice of shit, just said it wasn't worth the money to a racer like myself.
Oh DJ, I own 4 mobylette's that are all more than 45 years old, two silver greys, and 2 blue "mailman" versions. I understand what it means to own something that is unique and exclusive, but you can't compare a pipe to a car or a whole bike. If you wanna go that route, try this for some homework: ever heard of 51V? Made by motobecane over 25 years ago, came out of the shop pushing 70mph. Only 7,000 ever made. Now that's exclusive. Got one?
