pc platinum 1 or 2 final answer

[dnmac1999]

Hey bigbellybob, I bought that Dyno-port off stewart. It is the mid-top end pipe.

[bigbellybob]

im sorry but what info did Stewart give us? the dynoport pipe he tested was down 5hp, OK i believe him but with out knowing which one of the 2 pipes dynoport offers was down 5hp is worthless info.

and the fact that he likes the pc 2 with out telling us why is useless too.

i think he is saying that the k5 likes a longer section before the divergent cone section but that's not very clear. how much dose it like, how much more dose the pc 2 have over the pc platinum or other pipes? non of his info helps me decide if one pipe favors the mid and upper rmp range over  another pipe. and if he is saying that the pc 2 is better for mid/top why would pro circuit have this in the description of the pc 2.

The Platinum 2 pipe was made for people who ride or race off-road. Constructed from heavy-duty 18- gauge metal, it offers increased protection from rock or crash damage. Like the Platinum and Works pipe, the Platinum 2 offers incredible performance with substantial power gains in the low and mid range part of the powerband.

to me this sound like the pipe was designed for low to mid power not mid to top. maybe the dyno showed something different but i have not heard Stewart say that the pc 2 works better in the mid upper RPM than the other pipes, just that he like it.

if this answer does not suit your needs let  me know  i was not intending to give any one useless  info bob

Stewart is like a dictionary when it comes to the k5. Just ask him any ? and he has the answer. He is busy and has always made time for any ? i had. I just had to ask, in my opinion he did answer the ? that was originally asked in this thread. Some people just want more i guess.

[bigbellybob]

maybe i came across as a but head and im sorry, i was just trying to dig up more info. the info that was posted seemed more like personal opinion, with no supporting facts. perhaps useless was a little extreme a term to use. Stewart please don't take offence to my post. i am not good at typing or spelling or grammar. some times its hard to ask the questions in my head because i cant put them in to words. i just wanted the info that brought you to like the pc 2.

no problem here,,, its sometimes hard on a key pad to not be properly heard when it seams like a short answer ,,added with my poor spelling and typing ,,and thats true it was my opnion  based on dyno time and riding the stuff,, i would be glad to test any pipe dyno port or other wise ,,lets all learn

[kwakman]

you can type jibberish for me stewart, your research is bang on.

Bob, Stewart does not go by what other people think about stuff. He dyno's the hell out of stuff and tells the facts about what he has learned with the wrecking wheel. I know you are very smart but I also know you haven't dynoed anything. If you had a chrome part that you swore made the K-5 faster Stewart would dyno the chrome off of it. When he was done he would be able to tell you if triple dip chrome was faster then plain old nickel. See you at the hill bob bring your beer and don't shake it up this time.

pc 2/r304 combo made a noticable increase on my 00 although nothing compared to switching from rad valve to vforce my only complaint is the pipe did not fit as well as the stock or the fmf. guess you cant have it all right.

So what was the conclusion on the difference between PC1 and PC2 pipe for the K5?  What part of the powerband is each better for?

[crazyolbastard]

pc1= more top end
pc2= more mid to top
if I am correct
hope this helps.
