A few days ago I asked if the DG pipe I already had removed from a blaster I am working on, would be worth installing on my other blaster(stock). Based on the replys I changed it out this afternoon. The only changes that I made was to remove the factory exhaust and install the DG pipe and silencer. There was of course a huge difference in the weight. I didn't weigh them but I would guess that it shaved at least 4 or 5 pounds. My jetting in the carb is factory.The airbox lid is on. The last plug chop I did with the factory pipe showed a darker brown color. It ran fine like that but looked a bit rich to me. After letting it warm up with the DG I rode it around a bit and did another plug chop. The plug was a nice tan color. Based on the plugs the I looked at on the forum the other night that were posted, I was just a bit darker than those. Since it did not look lean to me I proceeded to ride for awhile to see if I could see any performance changes. It felt more crisp, probably from leaning out just a bit, and felt like it did gain some power. I may have been able to get the same results by rejetting the carb since it was a bit rich before, so the power difference might not be as accurate as I'd like. The weight is for sure a change for the better. If you are on a tight budget and could get one really cheap, I think that it would be ok for a stock motor. As I already had this one it didn't cost me anything to try it.
Thanks again for the input. I hope this helps anyone that has the same question I had about a DG pipe.
