	I am looking to get a set of triple pipes for my 96 XLT SP, here are my choices.....Used set of Decker ceramic pipes or a brand new set of DG performance pipes. The Decker pipes don't have any head flanges with them so I would have to purchase those also. Please let me know fairly quick as they are on E-bay. Thanks guys! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	1) you need to make sure they're for the X12 chassis, it has taller shock towers and as a result, needs a different set of pipes all together. 2) I would go with the DGs, as they are brand new.

	deckers were good pipes in there days for the mono block 600's. I ran against a few they were quick. Today slp makes some with great power also. Of your choices I would go with the deckers. a good beer drinker isnt a picky beer drinker Loggers.... Working their ass off so you can wipe yours!

	I did a little research today on the Deckers, I found out that Dynotech had them in a pipe comparison back in the day on a 96 XCR (same motor as my XLT SP) pipe shootout and they were one of the top pipes, as was the SLPs and PSIs. I can't find any information on the DGs though. The Deckers are also ceramic coated. Thanks guys. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Guy on Ebay wants too much for those Decker pipes. Also I would make sure you engine has the crank bearing/oiling hole upgrade done before putting pipes on it. That is asking for trouble if you don't.

	Yeah, I'm not going to pay that much for those pipes, I did send him an offer on them. ACEXLT....did you see the DG ones? What are your thoughts on them. Yeah, I have read all the stuff on the crank problems. I appreciate it, thanks. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	So is $200 a good price for the Deckers? Can you get head flanges anywhere or do I need to use theirs specifically? Thanks guys! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
