    If this helps my 79 wr 250 came with a steel one with the tabs of course. So did the tank tho , could be a wr thing possibly . Andy , those silencers really clean up good . A good fabricator will always care about the final steps to make it look first class ... Thanks for all you do to help the husky community.

    Thanks matey! Don't forget - we make front pipes too

    Is the WR tailpipe much longer than the CR one and does it use an additional bracket?

    Husky started using this style of silencer in 1979 on CR250/390 but the 79's used two springs to hold the silencer to the pipe and the silencer slipped onto the pipe. In 1980 Husky used a silicone rubber connection tube to make the connection for the silencer to the pipe and the silencer did not slip over the pipe. Also the silencers in 79 where all steel and then in 80 they switched to the aluminum body but still had the steel rear cap.

    andy, i saw you guys also make chambers. i have asked before but got no response. are your pipes a stock replacement or are they altered for any performance gain like higher volume? are they same or thicker material than original? georges uptite pipes are kind of exciting as they are upgrades over stock equipment. he made the husky products catalog pipes back in the day.

    Hi.

    All of our pipes are made by someone with 30 years of experience making performance pipes for Motocross and Enduro bikes. We have sold plenty of these pipes and they have been fitted to a bike during manufacture. Anyone making pipes is going to tell you that their pipe is going to give more / better power than a stock pipe, and this is bound to be true as they are not dented and full of carbon!

    so they are basically made to stock dimensions correct? they do look very well made.
    are you saying that aftermarket pipes generally do not offer increases in performance?

    No. I am saying that any new pipe will be better than an tired old pipe. We choose not to make rash claims, as unless you are a very experienced 'Jetter' of carburettors, or you trust your bike to someone with a dyno, and depending on the altitude you ride at and the fuel you use and the condition of your engine and the air temperature etc, etc... just bolting on a new pipe will not necessarily bring you gains without the POSSIBILITY that you MAY need to re-jet, as we typically find that due to modern fuels and oil that most Huskys will need a main jet 2 sizes smaller than the recommended jet the bike came with. So much with tuning and carbuation is subjective and depends on how you like your power and where you like it. Just jetting alone can make big changes in how power is delivered...

    Hope this helps!

    i know it would bother some who dont understand jetting if they had to rejet but thats just how it is with a carb bike. i would fully expect to rejet for an exhaust if it was different than stock. thanks for the info. pipes look great.
