Scootering TS1 Exhaust Test

[Bofs]

Great exhaust test in Scootering this month. Anyone else surprised that the AF NK pipe blew the rest into the weeds as the best allrounder, a pipe that I`ve rarely heard mentioned compared to the JL`s, Devtour, PM`s and ADS.
Second for power and torque, remarkable result. All the big guns were tested and it was quite an eye-opener to see the results.
Although there`s only .5 HP between the top 8, it`s making it`s power at one of the lowest RPMs 6584rpm and it`s making 20 ftlbs torque at 6284rpm, same as the Taffspeed MK4. And only £220, time to sack the JL3

ThiNk it's the new pipe

[RICSPEED]

would be nice to have a run down of older pipes ...mikec /fresco ott ect

I've not seen the article.. but is an allrounder/compromise something that anyone wants?
I'd have thought a pipe that does something specific would be more useful. ie, ADS3 if you're running high gearing or a 'race' pipe if you've bought a kit that doesn't make any torque.

Think you should read the article,it`s far from a compromise

Must be a new NK, becasuse my mid was a dog and was one revvy mother......

[Bofs]

According to the article it`s based on an RB pipe.

woah!

it is the best pipe on the test for performance

what about build quality?
ground clearance?
noise?

ive had a nk pipe, a jl3, jl4, taffy mk4 and franspeed

the nk was delivered new and i pressure tested the joints using argon and soapy water - 5 pinhole leaks were found in the welding and the downpipe section corroded very quickly (metal layers flaking off)

i would sacrifice 1bhp for good ground clearance and a pipe lasting twice as long - however i will consider one as my next exhaust

I will stick with my PM25 cause it does what it says on the tin..and when it falls to bits it will be replaced with an ads..

The ads seem to fare very well in the test and yes I agree that in my experience the Nk does tend to self destruct a bit dunn it bro..
