cam2 Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Fireman-hott, congratulations and good luck. Yes, what Trinity did with my pipes was expand the distal neck out a few mm's where it slides over the proximal midpipe tube. They have 2 grooves on the inside with double orings. It slides right on. No hassle, no fuss and a perfect seal. Just really a killer concept. Expansion chamber are also double o-ring sealed as well where it connects to the exhaust port. Though that was a good idea too rather than the typical single o-ring. One will do but you have a back-up if one fails or doesn't seal well. The end caps are cnc billet as well as the rear hangers, just flat out trick units. Bit pricey for some but I didn't care. 333724[/snapback] those are some things that you should consider, some times the little things can make a difference. i know that some people may not care about the details but their are a lot of people that do. i agree with RNBRAD when he said that the 2 stroke pipe market has really lacked in quality pipes, most pipes aren't well built in my opinion. there's no comparison between my old FMF SST's and my Trinity SS pipes, the difference is night and day. i really like my trinity SS pipes, high quality. they look real good and i like the way that they go together as well. i like the fact that you can't see the stinger and pipe joint and there are no clamps, this looks so much cleaner. it sounds like you're heading in the right direction by listening to the consumers and trying to incorporate some of their ideas. the Rocket pipes seem to be great perfomers and if you can increase the quality you should have a winning combination. once again good luck, i hope this new adventure works well for you.

broke Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I'm sure the cost is high, but a Spark arrested silencer would be great. I'm sure anyone here that has gone to Silver Lake hates paying $150 for Spakies just to dirve through the gate. If the price was under the price of a set of Sparkies, there would be line to get them. Just a suggestion, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if taking some stainless steel screen and tacking it to the inside black tube in the silencer would work? The one that the packing goes around. As far as I know they just stick some rubber piece down the silencer to check. I will look into the orings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboy Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 the ticket is 2.5- 3" shorter silencers they are just too long . and start charging 1000$ for a set so my dumbass is still unique and faster tha neveryone else in my area<_< the longer springs would aslo be nice, but i like a tight fit to avoid any rattle or vibration . the performance and reputation are already established so a little fine tuning will surely put you ahead of the competition . make a pipe for a blaster! thats identical hell ,you could use half a she kit and it would probably work with some mild fitment adjustingand a shorter stinger tube .then you can double your market base by adding on another machine .blaster pipes market hasnt made a decent pipe yet and that would topple the competition there too!

H250RHATER Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) rockets are top end pipes .. . you may concider making a mid range pipe? since people are hearing good things about the high speed quality you may be-able to make a good track pipe Edited March 6, 2005 by H250RHATER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05bansh Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'm with Rnbrad and the stainless idea. I would get rid of my Cpi's today as soon as you can fab up some stainless rockets! (my Cpi's have only been rode on 3 times) Good luck! Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonspeeding42069 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 good luck with the buizz. i think the idea you had about tacking a screen in would work 99% of the time and would be pretty cheap to do for ya . all they do at silver lake is shove a welding rod type deal in until it stops .. like 4-5 inches in i have bought a 5$ screen and just shoved it in with a screw driver and they let me in everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Congrats on your new business opportunity. I have never seen a pair of Rockets so the above posts helped considerably. The two things that I feel are important are: 1) add a 2nd mounting braclet for the silencer. One is just to flimsy 2) Don't use rivets on the silencers, screws or bolts with nuts woudl be great. Oh ya. If you change design please make sure they clear the powevlaves on the RZ350 equipped shee. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris 334552[/snapback] if you have never seen rockets then how would you know that the silencer is flimsy with only one bolt holding it on?? as a matter of fact its not. its very very secure. mine have never come apart and never even move. as for the rivets, im sure they are cheap and thats prolly why they are used. i replaced mine with hex head screws when i cut my silencers down. pretty simple.

Fireman-hott Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well I have two avenues on the silencers right now. Rivets are real cheap to where you could just drill em out and redo them a couple times and it'd still cost less than the screws. I haven't made up my mind yet on that. The track pipe, I love the 2-1 I ran and if I could get it setup to run a stronger mid than the motofast/dynoports I may make one. I'm looking into stainless. I'd like stainless too. Also I'm looking into tacking the pipe clamps onto the pipe itself and extending the stinger a tad more to make a nice seal. Have to see how that will go first. The bracket is rather strong and sturdy, actually I thought it was stronger than the T-5's I used to have on my shee. The rockets with the right setup will turn a strong low end. I rode some tight ass trails yesterday and kept up with a vforce 700. And those things are auto trannys. Put it in 2nd and kept it there, shifted up a few times when the trails opened up some. Raced him on a kinda ovalish track with a woop section and a couple berms and a real little jump and smoked him. And beat the other banshee running the fmf sts. or sst whichever order those letters go. On a side note I didn't have to feather the clutch a single time.

Yaxy Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 You are right I have never seen rocket pipes, but have been looking to buy a pair over the past couple of weeks and I heard that they only had one mounting point. To my experience, typically 2 mounting point will alway be stonger than one but since I have not seen the silencers you would know more about that then I would. I am aware the current Rockets clear the RZ powervalves. This comment came about due to an earlier post regarding building different styles of the Rocket pipe.
