    09 wr144
    I recently acquired an 09 wr144 with a stock pipe on. I'm looking for some input from the husky experts on which pipe I should get. I do mainly woods riding but I also race in more open areas.

    ...and it is a very good pipe for that bike. If you have some fabrication skills and a welder getting most any modern 125 pipe to fit is pretty EZ. KTM pipes are a close fit. This opens up possibilities if you are into it.

    I ride mostly tight single-track with my wr 150 and have the fatty with the stock silencer. The fatty gave a little more bottom and mid power and seemed to broaden the power spread. I like it better than the stock pipe for what I do and it works awesome with a lectron carb.:cheers:

    I thought the fatty was good for a lot more bottom and mid (that was missing with the stock pipe) without giving up anything on top. If I bought another 125/144 it would be the first thing I would do.

    Had the Pro Circuit Platinum pipe on a Ferracci CR133 head. Lots of top end and felt normal down low.
