About Rossier
Engineering:
Rossier Engineering has
been modifying ATV's and
motorcycles since they
first opened their doors
in 1990. Since then they
have logged many hours
and won many races.
Rossier is also more
than an exhaust
manufacturer. They offer
engine packages, cams,
pistons, as well as
cylinder head porting.
Rossier is also very
conscious of sound
issues in today's riding
environment. The 450R
exhaust has an optional
supertrapp end cap that
claims to significantly
reduce noise levels with
very little loss of
power (there will be a
future review of this
product) Now on to the
good stuff!
Manufacturer's
description:
RE exhausts
feature brushed
stainless steel head and
mid pipes so they won't
corrode or rust. No
shortcuts here - we did
it right. The canister
is brushed aluminum with
a machined turn-down end
to help quiet things
down a few decibels.
When combined with an
aftermarket filter,
proper jetting and cam,
our TRX450 gained 9.0 HP
at the rear wheel! We
tried many pipes and
found you can only
achieve 42.5 HP peak
with the stock cam - the
HRCâ„¢ or Rossier cam will
give you the rest of the
power.
Quality and Install:
The quality
of the RE exhaust is
second to none. This is
an extremely well built
piece. The welds are
perfect and the mounts
are extremely beefy.
Installation was simple
and everything went
together without any
unwanted drama! The
length of the pips is
also worth noting. The
Rossier is by no means a
"shortie" but it does
have a nice compact can
that sits well behind
the rear grab bar and
out of harms way.
Performance:
Well this is
the part everyone wants
to hear. Does the
Rossier live up to its
reputation? I am pleased
to say YES. There are
some pipes that provide
a ton of top and others
that are designed solely
to give a huge hit on
the bottom.
Rossier's philosophy is
to have a wide useable
power spread over the
entire RPM range. This
pipe accomplishes that
in spades. The power
comes on instantly and
pulls hard through the
entire RPM range. This
pipe also has the
strongest mid range pull
of any exhaust I have
ridden. The way the
power comes on through
this area is phenomenal.
The bike just feels as
if it wants to pull your
arms off
Overall this is the best
performing exhaust
system I have ridden.
Conclusion:
With the Rossier's
competitive price,
outstanding quality, and
stellar performance its
really hard to say
anything bad. Couple
this with Rossier's
great customer service
and its easy to see why
the ROSSIER exhaust
system gets a 10/10 |
