Brian Swink's Works RM250 Pipe by teyblyy, on Flickr

This is the pipe on Brian Swink's Works 1994 RM250. It is a hand built work of art. It was made of 48 separate pieces of titanium. The article said just the material alone cost $1500 . Totally bad ass.

Christ that's cool!! You can have your EFI and traction control BS, there is nothing on a 4stroke anywhere near as badass as a hand built 2stroke pipe.

I see people calling it a header. I see people surprised to see it. Man, times have changed.

anyone remember "Bill's Pipes"? They were Factory Honda's pipe supplier in the McGrath era, and you could buy one yourself. not titanium, but stainless. called them "cone pipes"

That is a 93-95 Suzuki 250, one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made. (azlthough still superior to what is on the track now) They never got the case reed design to work. So bad in fact, that in 1996 Suzuki directly copied the 95-96 CR250, so close in fact that a CR250 pipe would bolt right up to the RM250. Ron Tichenor raced the Honda-clone Suzuki RM in the 1995 Japan championship, and i think there was even a photo floating around back then of the bike with honda radiator shrouds bolted to it as a joke in MXA magazine.

That pipe is about 10cm longer than the stock pipe right out of the head and norrower initially, probbaly to get more low end bark out of the motor.

Even worse than "header" is calling a silencer a "muffler" ughhh i guess that is one of my pet peeves. Cars have mufflers! Bikes have silencers.

I guess I dont know how! I have been checking. I just kind shrugged it off and figured that maybe you hadn't read the PM I sent you. You can reply to me @ mxwolf48@gmail.com I know I will get it there. Thanks!

Yes, in France, although from the description in that link it is more like a 1 man shop than a company. Between 400 and 550 Euros each pipe. All hand made and TIG welded.
From the description, he can start from an old beat up pipe as a model. Or he will design one on the computer if there is nothing to start with. (I assume that he has developed some sort of database for the ones he's already built)
