shees rule Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 what is better for all around speed and pull . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 for all around riding you will be happier with rockets. the shearers are a very peaky pipe with not much on bottom but a pretty insane top end. on my 4mm motor the rockets outpulled cpi from bottom all the way up and came on sooner. id say go for some rockets.

89Steeda Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 We have dynoed Shearers and CPI's on a 4 mill Cub with the Shearers getting the nod in HP and torque. The loaner set of Rockets never made it to my house so I couldn't do the dyno shootout EVERYONE is wanting. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white trash Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I agree with Loco about the shearers being a peaky pipe. The low end seems fine to me though, the way my bike is set up, i would say it still has a respectable amount of low end power. But man do those things hit hard, and pull forever. I like my shearers.

shees rule Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 so would u say that shearers hit harder on top with a respectable bottom. so basically u r sayin they pull better then rockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Depends on your motor and mods and riding style but in most cases I have sceen the Shearers are better performing pipe. Quality: I have never sceen rockets up close they look like decent quality and finish but I'm not sure about the silencers form what I have read. Shearers, I sceen some that were perfect chrome job and others that did not look as good although they both looked pretty damn good (is there different options available). The silencers on the Shearers are rivoted shut with soft rivots which kinda sucks. (Not sure about the rockets) I do like the stance of the Shearers WAY better than the rockets which make it harder to change sparkplugs and they seem to stick out more too, the shearers make it easier to fit Clamp on Pods too. Less of a Leg Burner pipe. Just my opinion. Edited April 28, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white trash Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I dont know if id go so far to say they hit harder. I have never riden, or saw a shee with rockets. Im sure that they both hit equally hard. I think the shearers have a few more peak rpm, probably not enough to base your choice on that alone, how much power are you really making at 11,500 rpm. What loco is saying is the rockets may have a bit more low end power. I dont think you could go wrong either way. My shearers have a violent hit, and pull like a freight train, if i had to do it over again, i would make the same choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketboy Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 one thing to consider first,do you like your airbox? cause with shearers it ll become a toy for your cat to bat around the yard with,get rockets even with a wild 350 dune port they offer usuable grunt off the bottom ,i have shearer for my blaster and rockets for my she and sheaer pipes are all topend brother IMO , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman-hott Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Guys changing plugs on the rockets are so fucking easy, I do see where everyone keeps saying its so hard. Theres such a big gap where the bend is that you reach right in there and swap out the plug. The silencers are welded on one end an riveted on the other but I am changing that to a button head screw so you can get that packing changed without having to rerivet. and I have another trick up my sleeve that this batch of silencers may get done to it.

cam2 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 everyone talks about having such a hard time with turning off the gas and changing spark plugs. it doesnt take me anymore time than it did with a set of stock pipes or t5's. i dont know what the big deal is all about. 367504[/snapback] shees rule, i can't give you any info on these pipes that you haven't already heard because i don't have any personal experience with either pipe. but as others have said you probably couldn't go wrong with either pipe. but don't let people scare you away from the rockets if those are the ones that you really want because they say that the plugs are hard to change or the fuel petcock is a pain to turn on and off when the pipes are hot. if your bike is tuned properly and you use good premix oil and run fresh fuel then you won't foul plugs which means that there should be no reason to change your plugs when the pipes are hot. also if your bike does run well then you shouldn't have to change your plugs that often anyway. as far as the petcock is concerned if you ride with gloves then you can turn it on and off with them on. plus there's no reason to be turning your fuel on and off while your out riding for the day unless you have a fuel leak which you should get fixed anyway. as far as i'm concerned the so called plug and petcock issues are just petty exceuses, they sure wouldn't stop me if the rockets were the ones that i wanted.

sandman121383 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 io got a set of shearers. for the price they're insane! they pull like animals! i love how they hit hard. cas then u kno to hang the hell on!!! the silencers shearer gives u are the nicest looking in my opinion and are really well built! thick aliminium, nice thick bracket. i love them. losing the airbox was a little ify for me at first (i live in PA) but i took it off and used my k&n with an outerwear and have gone on a few rides and so far i don't regret it at all. i actually wish i took the damn thing off sooner. losing the airbox is something to consider unless u wanna shell out another 100 bucks for a custom bent set thats not chromed. cas i asked about it. well happy choosing!
