Trying to make my mind up on a new pipe. Low to mid woods riding on a stock 86 engine with boyesen reeds. Will eventually upgrade with some porting and carb work but sticking to around 250 to 265. Would like some feedback from anyone running a CT system. I'm looking at a ESR trx7, Paul Turner midrange, and LRD type B as well.

I run ct pipes. National mids tho. Definitely not a low mid pipe.

Similar to a ESR trx5?
-
I'm running the same thing, CT National Mid, stock bore, Boysen reeds, Keihin 35mm PWK.
-
Yes similar. Not the exact feel tho. I think the esr5 has a wider power band.
-
A trx7 would work great for that.

I have the ct pv pipe and there silencer. I think it looks very similair to esr trx 5. A friend has the 5 I don't think there would be a big difference between the two in power. The shape and size are very close. But if I was going to buy another I would get led's new pipe. I Bought my ct pipe last year and the chrome is coming off of it already. it was a pain to seal because it splits in the middle and takes 4 springs. The esr is a better looking pipe, no sealing issue, and seems to hold up better IMO.

Thanks everyone. I'm gonna draw straws tonight :)

I have the CT mid-range pipe on my 310 and it was a night and day over my FMF. I always thought it had lots of low and mid range grunt but I may swap it out for my LRD to see how much of a difference there is.

I have a CT here that I have tried on my XC bikes. I can honestly say I'm not impressed with the power it makes for the woods.
If you want a true low-mid XC pipe the Paul Turner Type 6 is the way to go.
If the type 6 is too low for your needs, I suggest an LRD/LED for the woods.

is LED porting your cylinder?

Are the type 6 pipes still made?
-
No. Gotta get lucky and find one used. They come up once in a while! Here's the one I got.

Some people hoard fenders but it looks like you may be a pipe hoarder...lol
-
Spirit,
if you ever decide to cell that type 6 let me know. I am in fact a hoarder of those
As stated, the type 6 is unfortunately no longer produced
-
No problem
Over the years I have acquired certain things I couldn't sell either
-
I hoard pipes and gear boxes like a mad man I just bought my second sparks MX pipe; and stock airboxes for some reason...no idea why

I have a nice chrome type 6 with silencer I will sell.

What about Pro Circuit Pipe/Silencer? Is my Bills pipe junk? I'm buying one from LED but still curious about the two just mentioned.

I'll buy that bills pipe when you upgrade to your LED pipe if you want :)

You know he's back right? Was in a debate between Bills and a DRD just before selling my YZ. Selling it made the decision easy. Wonder if he can still make his R pipes. I imagine these are stamped so I guess it depends on where the tooling ended up and why cognition it's in.
