THINKING OF PUTTING A SERLING PIPE ON MY T5 MILLENIUM ARE THEY ANY GOOD ? I KNOW THEY SOUND NICE, ANYONE ELSE GOT ONE ON THEIR SCOOT.

I've got one on my PX and they look and sound great. Performance wise it's hard to gauge as the Malossi 166 kit went on at the same time.

very nice pipes...but if its a standard T5 ..i think you'll lose a bit of power on the performance of the scoot. one of our members put one on & took it off after a month...iv'e heard they don't disperse the heat as good as standard ones & thus, overheating the engine...but then, this is all from other people...anyone else heard this ?  |

I've not run a Stirling, but had a PM Evo pipe on my T5, which i'd imagine gives similar performance characteristics being a true performance pipe..
IMO, these pipes are not best suited to a standard T5..
You lose bottom end pull and gain at the top end, means you have to thrash the guts out of it to get anywhere, pulls great when you are at the high end of the revs, but you can't ride it everywhere flat out!,
With the loss of pull at low revs you're constantly up and down the gears soon as you hit a hill, some wind or carry a passenger.
On mine, I got frustrated at the on - off power delivery, so binned the PM and went back to a Simonnini/Sito which both deliver a very, very modest power improvement, but it's across the whole rev range, so a much easier ride and a bit less manic! ;D
