Honda Feedback...

G-day Terry,

Were do I start.The fit was spot on, I replaced the slip on gasket as the old one was best left in place. Noise output was quieter then my stock item until you got into it sweet!.The performance from your pipe made one hell of a difference to the bike, power was good all over the rev range. The bike gained 20 k's fuel reach. Third and forth gear back wheel action anyware. On some big hills near Mt Molloy or deep river crossing in the Daintree it went like a train, you couldn't wipe the smile from my face.Carby mods will be in next week. All up it was money well spent.


Cheers...
Rod

Yamaha Feedback...

To Terry,

I just wanted to make the effort to say how happy i am with your service, in this day of unreliable companies, i was so impressed with your delivery, it wasnt even 48hrs after paying and the muffler was on my door step.

Then there is the actual product, wow what difference it has made to my bike, a 2004 yamaha ttr 250.
There is just no comparison now with the old bike.
It just went straight on, no problem and has now really bought my bike to life. Once again thank you very much for a excellent product and fantasic service.

Many Thanks
Peter McWilliams


 

 

I bought a new XT660Z and the bike handeled well but was lacking in power and torque.

I was looking for an Australian made product from someone who was passionate about bikes, not just a company that mass produced exhausts. I heard about TK pipes through word of mouth, and everyone I spoke to only had good things to say about Terry and his products.

After speaking with Terry personally I left the bike with him. 

Terry kept me informed on what he was doing regularly, which is the kind of personal service I look for. The end result was a completely different machine. The bike had increased torque and power, the throttle response was greatly improved and the bike now pulled with a twist of the throttle in every gear.

The look of the bike was also improved with the shiny new pipes. Terry also designed a tool box/pipe for all those tools and tubes you might need for that long ride.

I was impressed with the workmanship and service of Terry and TK pipes as a whole. If you are looking for an exhaust, regardless of what bike you ride you will not regret contacting Terry at TK pipes.

Thanks Terry.

and later...

Finally went for a good tough ride on the weekend & found the TK-P sensational.

Looking forward to getting one for my sons crf100.

 


Good morning Terry.

The XT660Z exhaust works a treat. I am very happy with the result and cant say enough about it's quality. The sound and look is a thing of beauty.

Well hell what a let down – came home from a trip away and told my wife I was fitting an accessory to my scooter and not to come within 500m of the shed. 15 mins later the muffler was on, everything lined up precisely – in fact it was such a pleasure to fit I might take it off and do it againJ! I am not one for stickers on my scoots but was so pleased I plastered a TK sticker on the side cover.

Took it for a test run in the back paddock, fiddled with the air mixture a wee bit and then run amok on the neighbours farm for an hour. Impression is that the bike does run sweeter from the bottom end and whilst there is a very slight increase in db’s it certainly didn’t spook the neighbours pet skippy’s when I dropped in there on the way home.

Great product and service.

Regards

Larry


 

Suzuki Feedback...

Hi Terry,

I managed to get the idle mixture correct as you suggested.
The DRZ also got a new rear shocker which has had to be dialed up on the pre-load. So now I have a bike closer to a RM with quick throttle response & good suspension and handling.

I had to keep stopping due to running out of breath & ridding hard across rough terrain and getting to much air.

The bike is quieter and runs cooler due to pipe & due to running in a different rev rang with stock gearing back on the bike, Oh Yeah, Heaps of low end torque real fun mate.

The fuel consumption is around 18.5km/liter as well which is good considering how hard I was going across varied conditions. So all in all awesome bike now and a very happy rider, just need a new rear tyre for more traction an drive.
Thanks for the setup advice & the magic pipe, quiet as well.

PS: The standard pipe with the after market end plate was unbearably noisy for a small performance gain, never ran correctly.


Thanks Terry.

Regards, Garry


 

Hi Terry,

Mark S here. I would just like to say a big thankyou for the service and the pipe you provided for my DR 750 the other
week.

The gains are impressive to say the least. Everything you said would happen did happen and I could not be any happier with the bike.

I will definitly be recomending you and your service. Such a pleasure to find some one with a "customer satisfaction" focus in this day and age.

Once again THANK YOU from one very happy customer...

 

Hi Terry,

The only problem I had with the fitting was having to remove the original headerpipe gasket. It sounds terrific and throttle response is much better. I adjusted the mixture but not the jetting as yet , it still pops a bit so at the next service I will try the larger jet. Overall I'm very happy with the result.

Regards
Steve

 

Thanks Terry,

Trip went great. Fitted a Dynojet kit and airbox mod, runs like a train more grunt ect ect, no hesitation or flat spots. Overall very pleased with your product and service, highly recommended.

Thanks again
Greg

 

Hi Terry,

It was a piece of cake to fit and yes sounds great and the performance seems to be more controllable with your pipe. Thanks heaps I’m glad I chose your pipe .

All the best .

Gary

Cheers

Hi Terry,

I just wanted to let you know that your pipe was really great I am so pleased with your product. I was worried about the noise but that is not an issue with your pipe. I went riding on the weekend and we came to this really big hill I thought my bike wouldn't make it but as I went up the hill it seemed to have a lot more bottom and top end torque as I followed the specs you gave me.

thanks so much for all your help will be telling everyone about your products.

Michael

 

G'day Terry,
 
Just to let you know about the exhaust you sent me. Today was my first ride on the bike with it,and I am very pleased. I was a bit dubious about the noise level beforehand,as I do not want the noise. But it is great and i am very pleased with the purchase. My main requirement was to get the width down for my saddlebags,and it is perfect in that area. I already had the Trialzone article on re-jetting,and the kit is still in the mail. I have experienced exactly what he was saying about the starvation sensation, but it all seems perfect without doing anything else. Magic.
 
Do you,or would you,do a front pipe for this bike out of the same piping?, it would suit it so much.
 
Many thanks once again, I will not hesitate to reccomend your system to others, glad i didn't buy any other pipe.
 
Regards,
John Tilley, Carnarvon, Western Australia.


 
Hi Terry,

Got the exhaust today and had to fit it straight away. The rejetting and air box modification will have to wait for a day off work.

What a "lovely" sound...hahaha. Took your advice and unplugged it before installation. Already a difference as I can cruise in fifth doing 60 km/h !

Thanks heaps for a lovely finish and a neat fit. Will keep you posted how it performs after the rejetting.

It's perfect in that it is not loud while travelling or idling through the village but has the nice deep sound of an old style bike while idling and certainly lets you know when accelerating...hahaha.

Will recommend your pipe and certainly the service!!

Cheers from Bruny Island,
Andree

TK Pipes in the Media...
 
CRF230 Review in Trailzone Magazine

Honda CRF 230 update:

With the jet kit fitted and snorkel removed (see specs in TZ # 19), the bike was still a little wheezy when fully tapped in top gear with the stock pipe. Removing the stock chrome end cover from the CRF lost some of its bottom end pull plus was just too noisy.



After speaking with Terry Kelly of TK Pipes and being assured he had this situation sorted, the latest TK Pipe has now been fitted. Terry designs all his pipes on his own in house dyno to ensure maximum performance improvement is achieved. TK Pipes is a one man show – Terry reckons that is his best guarantee of quality control – he does it all himself.



Howazzit?
The pipe came well packaged and has a high quality finish. The instructions were clear and fitment was both quick and accurate. The oval alloy muffler is bolted to a ceramic-coated mild steel pipe and is fitted with a mechanical baffle in the end cap. Terry sources a special German made heat resistant material that is wrapped around the internal core before the muffler pack is fitted in. This system is designed to last the life of the motorcycle without ever having to be repacked. The note emitted sounds great and is within the legal 94-db limit. There was a small weight saving – the TK pipe is not the lightest available but I am sure it will provide a high level of durability and crash damage resistance. Overall performance was crisper through the entire rev range but the main advantage was the power hung on higher into the rev range.



Summary.
The pipe looks good, sounds great, fitted up accurately and provides the power benefits promised. At $440 this represents real value for money. Check the range out on tkpipes.com.au"
