well bently, since you've never met me I find it hard to believe you "know me"... I dont remember meeting you in person, and no I dont have a "muzzy bias"... I'd really appreciate it if you didnt put words in my mouth or speak for me... I dont need that. The site existed for 6 years before you became a member... that's a long time.
Again, I dont know how to phrase this any differently... I'm not biased towards any pipe.. I really dont care.. whoever makes the better product for the specific model is the best IMHO... and that's so subjective there really is no clear answer... it comes down to personal preference...
What about Hindle? Put 2 and 2 together. Think about it.

SPAMMER .
The oreint express/ ti force pipe, and Brocks pipes apper to have the best dyno, 1/4 mile and top speed results thus far.
You wouldn't go wrong buying either of those pipes.
For the price, muzzy's is a good deal too. Considerably cheaper.
They are all within a couple HP of on another, and likely you would never notice much difference.
That said its all preferance.
And they all are sponsors....
I just fail to understand why they don't get equal props from the owner of the site...

It's the exact same thing that you said after.
Apparently they are all getting equal props on the site, and you have a comprehension "issue"

TiForce is who I went with. Did a full system hi mount . Love it. It's a single can. With the pc3 they were "claiming" 18-23 horse gain. Just put the pc3 on and have yet to get a dyno to check the results.

I never put words in your mouth fish, How can you sayyour fair, ever time someone has commented about a pipe you have been muzzy muzzy muzzy, we can all read. Well most of us can. I just said you were a stand up guy for how you run this site don't have to meet you to see that. And if you want to talk about meeting people maybe you should save your 3rd grade name calling(chump) to you do meet them.

Back to the question at hand!!!.....Who is the ZX14 exhaust guru???
I to am waiting for the Akrapovic, since I have one on my 12!!!.....If I had to choose a pipe now it would be the Brock's StreetMeg pipe!!!
Fish is correct in his comments on who the pipe guru's are here!!!

That's nothing I saw a new chevy truck yesterday with what had to be at least a 12 inch round stack sticking straight up in the middle of the box about 3 ft higher then the roof of the cab. I don't get what some people think is cool.

It all depends on what you are looking for If you want ALL OUT PERFORMANCE the Muzzy m-10 or the Brocks SMEG or the Tiforce if price is your main concern MUZZY BY FAR the oval can not the m-10 if you are looking for what looks the best I think the Yoshi is the best looking (but I have heard some dissapointing stuff about the dyno runs with the Yosh) as far as just an all around good pipe they are all good, If you are concerned with status and money is not an issue and you want an extremely GOOD QUALITY MADE pipe with close to the same power as all the above (except the SMEG and the M-10 wait for the Akro (2100 for a full system AHHHHHHH) as far as the SMEG versus the other oval cans I dont think that is a fair comparison in the strictly performance category cause I think we CAN ALL agree a megaphone style exhaust is ALWAYS going to make more power!!!

Knowing all that Brock did in bringing to production his ZX-14 exhausts and the maps that go with them...Brock is the ZX-14 exhaust guru in my book without any question.

too bad the exhaust manufacturers aren't publicly traded companies (significant ones for the 14 anyway), I'd be interested seeing sales/revenues.

Since the subject did come up Fish. Come someone answer this for me. Is Brock selling something that Hindle already produced? , Or is the difference being Brocks suggested specs as far as header and midpipe diameter and bends in the systems? Has anyone compared the two Brocks Hindle vs Hindles Hindle?
Muzzy is a guru, Remeber now R.schnitz sent a ZX14 flying down the 1/4 with a Muzzy pipe.
Brock is good, He definately has a huge following with these ZX14's
I would like an Akrapovic as well.

I make a habit of ignoring spammers, so please excuse my lack of reading effort.
its like selective hearing....
Any of the pies I mentioned are made by industry guru's as far as the zx14 is concerned.
Muzzy has kawi support, Brock has devoted an entire year of his life to development of the 14, and orient express / ti force (same pipe) have been very strong competitors in the pipe wars, as the ti force pipe has been a top rival on many models the last couple years.
i have not heard anything great about the yosh systems on the 14.
