Prima pipe, worth getting?

Post by r0sa »

hey fellow buddys,

I just got an email from scooterworks on there sales and they now have the prima pipe for only $159, that's pretty much a $40 discount.

I need yall's opinion on this, is it worth getting? I remember reading on the forums how some of you guys had one and it broke somewhere along the way, mine broke a WHILE back and just thought mine was the bad batch.

I don't want to spend $159 on an exhaust and not have it last, so please help me decide if its even worth getting the primas now

If you had one before, and went back to stock without noticing much difference.... I'd say it comes down to cosmetics and sound.

From what I have read, all the ones that failed, were replaced under warranty. And I think rumor has it that they are working on a new design to fix the issue.

I like mine :wink:

I love mine, and put the thing through major abuse, and it's held up fine. I noticed a gain in torque with the Prima pipe and also love the fact that now cars hear me instead of coming into my lane.

They have a noticable torque increase, and if you ever plan on doing other mods a pipe is a must. I love the look and sound of mine.

I'm also on my third. The upper bracket weld was bad on a batch, and it broke in exactly the same spot on mine. Scooterworks was awesome and warrantied them out quickly and without fuss.

Yes.
Love mine, the (possibly imaginary?) power boost and the low growliness. Mine hasn't broke (yet), but I only have about 2000 miles on it.
