Questions about DG exhaust quality 350x

**swampthang** · 10-28-2011, 09:29 PM

I have a chrome dg pipe on my 86 350x that the previous owner must have let Ray Charles cut and weld on

I need a new pipe and all thats out there new is the DG. I'd like to find a Supertrapp but usually they go quick and are more then often in poor condition. I've heard that the DG's rust out quick and have a problem of breaking at the mounts. I see that they make an Alloy silencer version of this pipe with the black steel header pipe. Does anyone have the Alloy DG on here? I'd like to see a picture of how one would look and what your opinions on it are as material quality. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a Supertrapp though but if no luck I'm going to try a Alloy DG.

Other than the fact its LOUD like all dg's, Its quality seems fine to me. I've ran em. I will also add that they are not spark arrested. So the trail rangers (Or whatever you call em) may not like that to well. But other than that I think they're a OK pipe. (I just hate how loud it is). a 4 inchSuper trapp is your best bet..

Soooo does Supertrapp still make a pipe for the 350x? Check this out http://www.supertrapp.com/product_se...t.asp?CatID=23

yes they still make the supertrapp for the 350x. And as a person who has one on the 350x, not only do they sound awesome, but they are worth every penny! Im sure alot of ppl on here would agree with me on that as well.

It worth the money no matter what you put it on. My 250sx is so much sweeter with the full system. If you can find one I buy it as fast as you can.

Well I ordered the DG alloy complete sytem from Dennis Kirk. I think I got a desent price on it $214. Does anyone have pics of this pipe? I want to get a idea as to what it will look like. I see alot of chrome DG's but I can't seem to come up with any pics of the alloy.

why not a nice 450 pipe conversion?? quieter. better built forestry approved... all around a better choice in my mind... the wr450 pipe is stainless steel.. never rust!! quiet and better performance,,,

That would have been the better pipe in the long run but I never really liked the looks of the 450 silencers on the 350x. They look to big and out of place to me. I do wish the DG was spark arrested that part kind of sux. But I still have a nice stock exhaust system I can go back to if it becomes a problem.

my 350x dg has an arrestor.

Why not a sportbike silencer? Titanium and stainless construction.

I've got a few brand new r6 silencers laying around.

Here is a pic of my Alloy DG RCM system. It's a 1st gen model. I had the head pipe jet hot coated back in 1994 to keep it from rusting and also so it would match the exhaust. I have nothing bad to say about this DG.

Looks good! I should be getting my pipe today if UPS is on time

What is the difference in the first gen design? I like that you matched the header. I'm going to look into that for mine. Is jet hot coated the same as powder coated just for high temp?
