Turbo specific pipe

sledrush · Feb 16, 2010

Went to Irwin this weekend to pull some steep hills and 5 miles from the truck my pipe cracked about 12 inches on the outside and the tubing on the inside almost broke off also.Luckily I had a backup sled.Bohica had a pipe do the same thing in stock form.Anyone else have this prob?Maybe a thicker ga.pipe...Is the CPI pipe holding up?

brycter · Feb 16, 2010

yes the cpi is holding up. But it changed all the rpm curves. it doen't pull as well on the top. Just weld it up with some strapingand you will be good.

BOHICA · Feb 16, 2010

Damb George, I'd say that came a part a little. Looks like you should be able to weld it up. While your at it weld up the rest of the seams too.

I have a cpi turbo pipe on my xp and it is runing great. I do not have a stock pipe to run with back to back or any other way to test it against the stock pipe. Mine did crack on one of the outside seams 12" or so after 6 rides and cracked on a inside seam 4 or 5 rides later. I was going to, but have not called cpi to tell them about it. I had a local welder repair it and put better welds on those seams. I had alot of under hood heat so I header wraped it. I also put two of the slp hose clamps over the fat part of the center section to help hold it together/reinforce it. I have made another 5 or 6 rides since and have not had any problems. header wrap really reduced the underhood temps.

NPP will build you a pipe that will not crack. You will get what you pay for. I am going to have him build a pipe for me.

Thanks guys,I guess welding her up and reinforcement is the plan for now then.I like the idea of strapping around the fat parts also.Guess i will break out the tig tomorrow night.Appreciate the help!

For everyone, not sure if the link will work. Only custom pipe manufacture that I know of.

sledrush · Feb 16, 2010

Thanks Todd.I will definately call them.Any idea on cost?

Todd H · Feb 16, 2010

Sled specific. If you are interested I would have one built at the same time, not sure if it would help on the cost. I'm thinking it is not going to be cheap, but it won't break under boost. My CPI pipe split as well.

I chased my tail with the stock pipe cracking on my ZX. I went to a Dynoport and welded the turbo end on, no more cracks.

Neils Power Pipes

I highly recommend Neil - I have 10 or so rides in so far with new pipe and no cracking at all. It seemed with the stock pipe it cracked almost every other ride. Neil does really nice work.

Sweet.Do you know ballpark how long it took and cost for main pipe?

Ive got a couple turbo specific pipes that are designed to be stronger. They are built by straightline. Never built a turbo so willing to sell them super cheap. 250 833 6883

Guess I should pull my stock pipe off right away and get the seams welded b4 I actually bust them.

champyfz450 · Mar 5, 2010

Stock xp pipes are pretty easy to find and cheap. Split it in half along the seams, lay it over the existing pipe on the sled and have it rewelded. Itll never break again. However, Id go with the neils pipe like the other guys said. Neil built one for my IQR, the customer service is second to none and the quality is nothing short of artwork! Get that wallet out though, they arent cheap.

Neil's pipes are $700 for the XP-ships in three weeks!! Guaranteed not to crack!! Well worth the $$$$$:amen:

I have a AAEN pipe on my 860TT and it has worked really well, its built just like Neils pipes are. Cost is a little less.
