    Andy at HVA- Factory is usually a good place, that's where my last two came from.

    Here is a sample of a Geoff Morris pipe. I seen this style in the 430 article in VMX a few years ago. Nice mid and rush just after mid range.

    Painted black because of flash rust in second pic. He has updated pipe since I purchased a couple years ago.

    Friend has a Eric Cook pipe , going to compare later this fall.

    I notice there's a difference in a 430cc pipe to a 500cc pipe. The larger diameter part of the pipe, one is longer than the other.

    Ditto with the HVA pipes. Got both on my 430 and 500. Need to slacken off the engine mounts to get them on at first, but mine have fit fine.

    bengt, do you feel these are a stock replacement, or are they an upgrade?

    I do think they make a bit of difference power wise....maybe it's because I have the mossbarger reed block so it the two combined makes it very quick.

    Ask Andy at HVA on here if they are any different.

    For all - I hope to be able to have a bit of a run off of three pipes coming up just before the Rio Bravo armha race at the first week of nov. or so

    Stock, Geoff Morris, Eric cook pipe. Let everyone know results. We will have at least three 430s to compare.

    I started a revolution of sorts down here - several folks want some Huskies to ride and race on.

    I had a trick 500 cone pipe and put it on the 430 but I had to cut the pipe where it went under the tank to make the angle right . it worked great until my brother hit me with his RM, his foot peg destroyed it. Still have not forgiven him.
