Scalvini pipe review.

[gasgasman]

Last week I installed a Scavini Pipe on my bike. http://www.scalvinipipes.com/

Bike: 2015 GG 250R
Carb: SmartCarb.
Silencer-OEM FMF Powercore.
Mods: 49T rear sprocket

Mounted up the pipe and carbon fiber guard.

The pipe had to be tweaked a little as the outlet pointed too close to the air box and rear spring. This is done by manipulating the pipe inlet a little.

All the tabs lined up perfectly. The Powercore slid on with ease.
Pipe weight a lot less than the OEM pipe.
The welds are art gallery perfect. This thing looks too good to be abused on the trail.
The carbon fiber guard was a perfect fit-no gaps etc.

Road test.
Bike sound real throaty. Snarls and barks with a quick blip of the throttle.
Took off down the trail. The bike is so much smoother.
The roll on power is greatly improved. The OEM pipe is trash now, in my opinion.
The power is improved in the mid to top end range.
In fact, 8 miles into the ride, I went to double a whoop and the front end came up too high. The rear tire caught the 2nd whoop and I whiskey throttled the bike and got spit off. Luckily, no injuries. I've ridden that same whoop section for years and never had an issue.
I did notice I was shifting a lot less now. If I got lazy, a quick stab at the clutch to bring up the rpms and the power would be right back on.

Pipe tucks in nicely:

Ground clearance is improved.

That is one fine looking pipe!
And bonus,youve cranked up the fun in getting it dirty!

Is anyone selling these in the US?

The guard looks quite substantial, keep us updated on how it (and the pipe inlet neck ) take the hits

That is a great looking pipe G. Awesome that you are getting that performance improvement too.

It held up pretty well with my huge crash. And, the bike landed on the right side.
The lower pipe mount did fail. I have since put the KTM (ughh) part on there.

So the pipe itself is fairly robust then? I have had a p3 on my bike since almost new. Only point of damage was the first bend of the pipe. I had a new pipe waiting so didn't put 100% effort into trying to straighten it out

What was the pipe flavor and condition of the pipe you replaced?

 

[gasgasman]

The OEM GG pipe. With P3 guard.

May be slightly tweaked. Still fits the bike.

I put the Q Stealth back on to race the NEPG in LA.
The Q took away some of the massive hit. Made it a bit more controllable.
The roll on power was still way more impressive than the OEM pipe.

A buddy of mine ceramic coated the pipe. Less maintenance.
