January 4, 201313 yr hi all, my friend has one of these and says i can have it for £110 its virtually new no dents or scrapes. http://www.sandifordoffroad.co.uk/mrp-adam-raga-replica-titanium-front-pipe-gas-gas-txt-pro-models-12318-p.asp will it be just like the s3 or thor ones? .... giving more power and a better bottom end ive heard you can get an insert for 125s that makes it work better. but will i need one in this pipe. thanks, ben
January 4, 201313 yr I think you will need the insert but not sure if that manufacturer make one, check with Sandifords.
January 4, 201313 yr Ben Got to admire your enthusiasm for your bike! But £110 buys most of; a set of tyres; some coaching sessions; correct shock spring for your weight; 50% of a flatslide carb; entries for 7 trials. Any of which will probably have more positive effect on your scores. you too can be this boring... its an age thing. Dom

January 5, 201313 yr You need to check the length of the pipe where it comes out of the barrel, if it's same as yours then it'll be same power (I think), shorter 'manifold will affect your power
January 7, 201313 yr As far as I'm aware the titanium pipes are usually for more power (short) OR more low end grunt/smooth delivery (long). By definition the RAGA will be the short, maximum power pipe, which will probably give you less low down grunt than before. Just because it is made from titanium doesnt do anything extra to the exhaust gasses, they will flow the same, it is merely lighter. I guess only you can decide if it is worth going for, and whether or not you would prefer more power or more low end grunt, but if it was me, I'd probably only replace the pipe if the original needed replacing, or if I could afford riding, maintenance AND the pipe. I guess if you have the cash to splash, why not lol, but I wouldn't let it override paying for enteries to trials and the like.

Thanks for the advice on the short/ long pipes etc Thanks Ben
