I recently got a really good deal on a yz125 pipe stamped Bud HGS. I know that HGS make a great YZ pipe and I know that Bud is a French tuning company. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about a collaboration between the two companies or if it is just a HGS pipe stamped with BUD? Thanks. At some point someone has scratched YZ144 into it if that helps.

There’s more to this story, but waiting to see how BUD handles it before I go flame mode....but it’s not looking good.
Update:
BUD is taking care of me on it, but I’ll have to see what the replacement looks like before a final say on the pipe itself.

Just read your post from above & originally had read the OP's. Sometimes you get different stories from different sources. Unless I heard it from the owner of Bud racing himself It's hard to believe what's posted on the net most of the time.
That being said the individual that told me was a manager if I recall & he works for Bud Racing here in CA. I'd think he would have some inside knowledge on the Bud stamping of the HGS pipes since it's local & not some dealer across the pond. As far as being rare they're not locally to us. Every HGS pipe I've seen has a Bud logo stamped on them.
Forgot to add the guy I spoke to, Roland Shaw at Hardcore Racing (guys from the UK have probably heard of him and there's nothing he doesn't know about 2 stroke tuning), is a HGS Importer and he said the carbon silencer they make is made in house at their workshop in France.
I reached out to Bud Racing through email about the Bud logo on the HGS pipes & got a response.

Ray,
The BUD logo stamp is made before that section of the pipe was cut. We are the official importer and distributor for HGS pipes in the North & South America. For Europe, our race team officially uses HGS pipes.
There are other reasons why our BUD logo is stamped together with HGS logo as the owners of both companies have known each other for a long time.

Hello,
I purchased an HGS pipe for a CR250r that came with the Bud logo stamped on it through your company. Would you be able to tell me how the Bud logo was considered being stamped by HGS the pipe manufacturer ?
Thank you,
Ray
