SIP ROAD 2.0 CHROME VERSION

[zoltan007]

I feel slightly guilty about posting yet another thread about exhausts...

I'm seconds away from clicking 'Buy' on one of these www.sip-scootershop.com/en/products/racing+exhaust+sip+road+20+_24166300 and am hoping that someone will shout any words of warning. I ride a standard '01 px 125 which recently had a sito + fitted and I was perfectly happy with it performance-wise. But it was old and had a couple of holes and looked like a lump so I'm looking to replace. I've read mostly good things about the SIP Road 2.0 (think I prefer the box type to the 'sporty' extension pipe version) but not read anything specifically about the chrome finished variety which I've got my heart set on. Anyone had any first, second or even third hand experience..?

p.s. with the sito+ fitted I was running on a 96 main jet - absolutely fine. Upjet for SIP Road 2.0..?

All I've heard is they are hard to fit, and not as long lasting but I don't have any hard evidence. What I'd heard put me off the chrome and ordered the standard. I was told to go up to 102 or 100 with mine. 100 seems correct On mine, that's with a drilled air filter

the sip road 2 in chromes the same in performance as the black 1 , but lots louder as theres no sound deadening packing,it wouldnt survive the chroming , an the chrome dont last ,bout 6 months if ya ride in wet/winter/salted or gravelly roads , an coz the captive nut is fitted before chroming it can be a nightmare to get bolt to start in it , gave up after a hour n swapped to old rusty nut from pipe being removed an job was done in 5 mins .

I think the black one is loud so the chrome one will be definitely not neighbour friendly if it's louder.

Cheers both. I've gone and done it anyway. So it's going to be awesome and that's that!
