Anyone know anything about these?

I love the look!

$600 for a slip-on F THAT!

[WRIZZY]

The price given to me via the person selling them is $390

The $600 is retail in Australian $$

I still prefer the Staintune pipes, had good experience with them and they are cheaper.

Someone said the alloy ones fall apart at the rivets on dirt bikes with the shock and vibrations. That someone runs a bike shop and does enduro racing with his son and is a good friend of mine.

Thanks for the feedback, this will be used on a supermoto so I'm not too worried but I would like to know about performance. Any idea?

I don't see any performance gain, because from what I saw it was a slip-on. If you want a performance gain, look at a full exhaust. Muzzy, Yosh, Big Gun, etc....

I've been running a barrett slip on muffler on my 525exc for a while now and love it. I've noticed significant power gains throughout the whole range and it gives off a nice note without being too loud and offensive. I've raced it many times and never had any problems with the rivets falling apart, the barrett definately seems to be an excellent quality made pipe. I don't think all bikes need a complete after market full system to give good power gains, slip ons alone can achieve it too - i can testify to this myself, as can loads guys i know who only have the slip ons. And aside from all that, it looks trick!!! ?

Barrett seems to have a pretty good name ?

The Dyno tests, and the consensus here, say that on a DRZ you do need a full system!

Sure, certain bikes such as a drz do need full systems to make a difference, but what i'm saying is that not all bikes need it. If all bikes needed full systems then there wouldn't be a market for just slip ons. I've seen dynographs that prove slip ons do make a difference (and having one on my own bike ive been able to feel the difference). There are certain ones that only require a slip on for power gains, then there are other bikes that need a full system to do this. I've heard that Barrett test their pipes on the dyno, and know that they provide slip ons AS WELL as full systems for the bikes that need it. I've also read good reports on both their slip ons and full systems in ADB.

For example, the ADB project husky which only needed a slip on:

And the crf450x which was tested with a full system:

And another review of just a slip on for a husky:

Two slip on reviews suggesting that they DO work!! ?

Yeah, but this is a DRz forum... ?
