lms1977 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 If they were really that good 10% more power over the shearer I think you would see alot more of them, I'm sure they are great pipes and on certain motors they will make more power than any other pipe. it would be cool to see a shoot out on a few different motors ported and unported cubs, servals etc and have them ported for each pipe to get the most out of them then switch the pipes around to see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow recollect a shootout recently, more of a rainout actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertR Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have a set of snipers and if you show up to LS for snakehunt and the Hq ride I will let anyone who wants to ride my bike and possibly try them out on there motor.

I somehow recollect a shootout recently, more of a rainout actually all I'm saying if matt shearer or cpi did a test I'm sure there pipe would be better as well if they were as good as that test there should be way more out there and alot more used pipes for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 if they were as good as that test there should be way more out there and alot more used pipes for sale Not when everyone is thinking like this... People need to be more open minded.. These pipes are new.. and its going to take time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I still say the Shearer/Sniper comparison is ignorant. One pipe has been in testing for a year while the other has been in testing for many years, in many different motors, in many different parts of the world and in many different variations. I think you would be doing a lot better to compare Snipers to the original Rockets or R2's. They both got the same kind of hate when they came out for no reason other than it was a new pipe. You rarely see a used set for sale. There's two reasons for that. First, the people who run them like them a lot. Second, the quantities aren't out in the real world like CPI or Shearer. I would like to see comparisons for them all, but in order to do that fairly, they would have to all be tested on the same motors in the same day on the same dyno. For example, try all the pipes on a stock port motor. The next day a ported motor. The next day try them on a 4mm Cub. The next day try them on a 10mm Cub. That is the only way you could even possibly begin to compare them. Any motor can be set up to react better with a certain pipe. That's why they would have to be tested on the same set ups.

guns4children Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Humm..... never thought of it that way. I don't think I have seen a used set of r2s for sale. I like mine, but I also have yet to try shearers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertR Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have run both shearers and snipers on my ported serval and both performed great IMO you can't go worng with ether pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats a great Idea..!!!!! maybe the BHQ could pay for the testing then we would know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good and all, but not when one company believes their product can produce 10% more HP or whatever their claims were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that they got more HP out of their set up with their own pipes. Why is that so hard to grasp? That is exactly why a direct comparison of the two can't happen unless it's on identical set ups. Porting can be changed to accommodate certain pipes. Why not take non-ported stock stroke, 4mm and 10mm Cubs and throw the pipes on them? You could also do stock port, stock stroke cylinders. That is really the only way to compare apples to apples.
