I have an LRD adjustable pipe and wonder what difference adjusting it in or out would make. Here is a pic of the pipe before I took it off and repainted it...

Well in the picture u can see where the previous owner tried to seal up the slip joint part of the pipe. There are two bolts that I can adjust in or out to make the fat portion of the pipe larger or smaller.
I dont think so...The two pieces overlap 3-4". I know I had to take the two halves apart to get it out.
Obviously not the same pipe but same concept...Team B Adjustable Exhaust - TRX250R [HBPTA00002] - $525.95 : LRD Performance, Experience the Power of Acceleration
damn i guess you do learn somethin new everyday.i never even heard of an adjustable pipe.that would be a goood question for one of the builders
ive never heard of an adjustable pipe for a blaster, mostly 250r's and quadzillas. however, they are so you can adjust the powerband for more mid, bottom, and top. wether they work im skeptical, however, lengthening the pipe should give you more bottom.
The bigger portion of the pipe...from what i understand its adjustable so that u can tune the powerband for low or top end. I was just curious if anyone has ever had one.
U beat me to it lol. So the longer the pipe, the more bottom end? The way it was set before was as short as it would go so that would have been set up for top end power right?
NO. The pipe that he's got is an old lrd adjustable for a blaster. They used to make them in the early to mid '90's for the blaster then quit. Probably because they didn't sell many of them
That link that I brought up was just an example of an adjustable pipe. I have no idea whether a 250r pipe would work on a blaster
The adjustment on the pipe is most definitely to adjust where your powerband is, as someone already said. The only thing is, once you start adjusting them they leak, so you have to get it where you want it, tighten it up, and seal the sh*t outta the joint with some high heat copper gasket maker or something like that. I do not know which way you need to adjust it for bottom/mid/top end power though. I'm not going to try to be like some other people here and just shoot out bad information.
