What the hell Tri-z pipe did I just buy?

[honda250sx]

Just picked this thing up cause it was DIRT cheap. Deepa and ATC-eric have been snagging pipes up like crazy. So i pulled the trigger not knowing what it was. Hope its not DG... LOL

Phase 5?

[honda250sx]

I think maybe cobra? Who knows? Mosh used to think his was a cobra until another pipe popped up. Maybe Scott from Phase 5 can help. I will PM him. Could it be an Answer. The seller was selling a silencer as well. I just bought the pipe. Silencer wasnt doing it for me.

[2quicktecate]

looks like dg

[dirtface]

I have an Answer pipe and silencer on my Tri-z and that does look alot like it. I am going to bet Answer. I just can't figure out why companies didn't stamp there names into pipes when they made them.

[factoryX]

looks like the dg pipe I have... same hp or less than the stock pipe....lol

[honda250sx]

Scott from Phase 5 has identified it as a Phase 5 pipe.

[DixiePlowboy]

looks like the dg pipe I have... same hp or less than the stock pipe....lol

What???

I put a new DG on the '86 Z I had back in '92(of which I was the original owner), and it was clearly an improvement.

[ceaserthethird]

It's identical to my DG pipe From end to end .... That's why i didn't buy it !

[Yamahondaman]

What???

Agreed ... don't believe them that say the DG is the same as the Stock Pipe

[ATC-Eric]

Sweet buy Jeff.

[mike from long island]

I saw that pipe when it first got listed.I have all the pipes I need.So I let it slide.Had I known you were looking.I would have gotten it just to me mean!!!:lol:

[Tri-ZNate]

It looks like a phase 5, cobra, answer, and a dg. A.K.A. a Coaser :lol:. Companies should have stamed every pipe or atleast engraved their names in them.

[honda250sx]

Mike your killing me! For once here I think I got a good deal. Just hope its not stamped DG on that little tab.

[mike from long island]

I will try and get another picture of the Phase Five I bought.I paid just over $100 bucks for mine.What caught my attention was the silencer.But it was pretty beat up.

I didnt know we were having a Tri-Z shoot out war on who can get the most pipes!!!!!!! :lol:

I know where there is a very nice complete LRD system for the Tri-Z!!!! :naughty:

I know where 2 of them LRD things are.But neither will come off one...:cry:

Jeff. I am about 99% sure that isnt a DG.
Definatley mirror image of my pipe...It will give that bigbore tons o topend,over the DG.

Do tell me in a pm!!!

[factoryX]

the pipe is the same pipe I have, exact replica, crust in all...

[ceaserthethird]

DG pipe Newer - no Stamp any where picture -

[Dirtcrasher]

Honestly, what does it matter WHO made it? Fred, Tom, DG. Joe, Pecker, Dirtsuck etc etc..... If the diameters and lengths are that similar, will it not perform remotely the same??

These Tri-Z pipes are so similar that I can't see a different name brand being such an improvement......

You name my pipe "COWSHIT" and if it worked better I'd be happy :)

Recently, it sems as if allot of similar/different Z pipes have been up for grabs. BUT, I can't see any huge differences??

If they all look the same, how can there be any huge power gains?????????

If the diameters and or expansion chamber lengths were changed, couldn't we pick it out like chicken versus steak? :D

[userj8670]

LMFAO!!!! True statement!:lol: :lol:

[honda250sx]

Stephen, you sound so disgruntle. Did someone sleep to close to you at pennsyltucky 09? Sheeeesh. I hope this pipe was built by jesus, maybe the virgin mary will appear in a run of spray paint. Then all ya'll will be jealous.

[The Goat]

I would think that small changes make a big difference.

remember that the bolt on mods listed by phase five back in the day, only called for a like a 1/4 inch piece to be removed from the pipe and rewelded.

a little goes a long way.

[honda250sx]

Goat correct, sort of...The WRENCH reports called for that. Those were the hot tricks from yamaha

[honda250sx]

For those of you who swiftly jumped the gun and swore this was a DG. Well, frankly apparently you have never held in your hands nothing but a DG, nor do you own anything to compare it to.

Here I have a DG pipe that I bought from Mosh. It is my soul comparison to this pipe I purchased.

Note the differences...

Opinions?

[brapp]

its definitly diffrent than a dg lol

[mike from long island]

I think that is a PAhse Five..Here is my Phase Five..Confirmed by the man himself!!!

[tri-Z ripper]

Looks like a longer mid section with a fatter expansion which if i read the sound wave technology report correctly will open the mid and high end alot sooner? or i could be full of crap but it looks great!

[honda250sx]

Mike thank you for the pictures. Looks identical to what I am looking at. Mosh was correct when he looked at it. I got ahold of PhaseFive on the boards and he indeed confirmed it as well. Super cool!

[mike from long island]

The question is... What exhaust are you going to run???????????

[honda250sx]

phasefive or a jemco
