All i have to say is this pipe is shagadelic :fro:

The LRD comes off and i give this masterpiece a try. Joe @ Rossier does some really nice work from his pipes to his machine work. Theres something about Rossier pipes that are just top notch. Here are some pics of it on the usual backdrop.....my basement couch :lol:

Really nice looking Tig welds. Total of 4 steps. Definetly WAY different from the LRD. Joe really tried to keep the noise down on this pipe. I commend that effort.

370 do you now have 3 pipes? what is up with that? i think i just missed the killer deal you got on the two brothers.. pretty soon you will be able to do your own pipe shootout?

Actually i have 4 pipes for the LTR. The 2 bros is in the mail (thank you Varmit) The LRD, the Rossier, and the Custom side mount ESR pipe i made. They will all make it to the dyno. Someone buy a Duncan if their available so we can try that!

That pipe will hold it's own there! That looks to be a winner as far as finish and design. I like that pipe! Rossier seems to make reasonably priced pipes that hold a curve up there with the big $$ pipes....

370KingR How was that LRD pipe performance wise???.....I'm pretty close to putting either that one, or the DMC4 Quiet version. Both of those are around 96DB with no quiet core, which is important where I ride.

Joe and I are also working on some new end cap designs to further aid in db reduction with minimal to zero power loss. Not to mention something cool !

what did the rossier set you back? I know a couple guys that put it on their TRX's and they swear by them!

That pipe ran me $430.00 Tyler. The LRD i picked up for $450.00. Id talk to Alex @ Orange County about one, he is a very good person to buy from.

I so agree Adam. I remember the first pipe test we did on the TRX and the Rossier just stood out as one of the finest of the 9 pipe bunch. Excellent power, sound, and fit. You will never find better customer service anywhere too. Joe takes the time to help you out with everything he can, just a stand up guy. I hate buying something and its like they have no time to help explain some questions or concerns you may have.

Its very hard to say how it performs because i would need to compare it to something else. I never ran the stock exhaust on the build and i havent bolted up any other pipe as i just got a few more in. I can say that i really like the sound. Its pleasantly quiet at part throttle positions but when cracked open, it barks but not excessivly at all. Sound awsome IMO. It is definetly a low to mid biased pipe. My whole build pulls extremly hard off the bottom and into the mid and has a decent top but nothing to write home about. I still need to clean it up with some jet work. So far the LRD gets my recommendation. Ill let you know how the Rossier stacks up against it.

i agree with the 370king. i just bought a new rossier exhaust. i havent bolted it up but all i kno is they rip on the trx's and yfz's. i went to a drag race the other day and that was the ONLY pipe the yfz guys said they will run with there big bores. the customer serice from rossier is awsome. i called up there and i talked to the head man up there. he was very nice and gave me a lot of information. he even cut me a deal on the price $430 and gave me free shiping. i highly recomend rossier. quality parts and awsome customer service!!

Theres a guy on here who has several pipes he might loan out, now if i can only remember his name..... :p

that pipe looks like a performer very nice exept that end cap has to go imo.
[/b]

I kinda have to agree with you. Not that i hate it but i feel he could make something on the end there a little more nicer looking. Again, not that its terrible but i like the LRD end cap a bit better.
