Looking for a good MX pipe for my 1974 1/2 Mint 400.  It currently has a nice ACE pipe,  but I am not totally happy with sound / power characteristics.  Anyone have a good stock or other brand repopo for Mint 400 for MX?

I have one of these that is in good shape. It is solid with just a couple of dings in the header. I am told that it is very rare to find one of these original pipes with the silencer still intact. I think there may be a ding in the end of the silencer but otherwise it is in good shape. My first choise would be to find someone that would trade me a 74 Jackpiner pipe for this, but I would sell it for $200

I can send some more pictures if you are interested.

Hi all,
I've also got a 400 MX pipe that I'd be willing to either sell or trade. I'd be willing to trade it for a 77 MC5 or GS6 pipe. I would prefer a 175 pipe but would consider a 250 pipe as well. I'll have look my 400 pipe over again because I don't remember the exact condition and would have to take a few pictures of it. If you are interested email me using my screen name here @cox.net .

Terry, I would suggest you consider fitting a 76-77 MC-5 400 pipe.  it will make your mint run much better than an oem pipe.

Jeff,
I tried to send a few pictures to the email address you use as your screen name but the message got returned. Is that the correct email address for you ?? If so, maybe the file was too large ?? Let me know.
