Anyone tried the AE factory team pipe and header on the 7 port? I know the 7 port calls for a midrange pipe and the 2035 has that look at the end and I always wanted to try 1. And for some reason that new trinity "bat" pipe has been calling my PTM 5 port LOL. Its said it works on any mill, I am going to be patient and try to see if someone got 1 and will let me run a few laps with it 1st but we will see.

This does happen occasionaly. Same thing happened to my 7 Port last year. I don't think it is any more prevelant in the GO motors than any other brand. Just dam bad luck 
Sometimes the G clips just break, and sometimes they can compress at very high revs I believe and pop out of the grooves, usually when they get old, which might be the case with your Gen 2 motor.

Just for the record... the Thunder Tiger 2035 is the same pipe as well, cheaper by the TT name I believe. I ran the 2035 on my 3-port this past weekend, fuel economy was good and the engine had great top end.

Grizz I dont have 1 yet I may get 1 from a freind of mine to use as a back up or for club races. I really want a 3 but I wont buy a used mill off anyone and the guy who has this 7 port is 1 of the only guys I would buy from. I think if I do get it I am going to try the AE or TTR pipe, if not an 053 or the 2047. I dont have the 0801 anymore i had the old model with the flimsy stinger.

Seriously I ran with a 3 port sport and it was the fastest i have ran, sadly the engine wasnt to happy with me and self destructed itself about twenty minutes in.
