Title: Battle of the 400EX slip-on exhaust
Post by: FoxHondaRider on April 29, 2007, 09:30:39 PM
Yes I have posted a poll before on which exhaust would be better.  But the search has been narrowed down to what seems the better exhaust in my opinion from info I gathered.  Price is not a concern on these I just wanted to know which one performs better EX: HP gain or torque.

After searching hours in forums and looking at graphs... the HMF slip-on will give me a 4HP increase and about 7lbs torque.  Also I just ordered a K & N air filter and outerwear which claims 15% HP increase with a Jet Kit.  I am looking at about 32 HP @ the wheels I figure and all for under $400.

I had the E-Series loved the sound level and it was unique but I'm not sure power wise because  I beat everyone with everything done to their 400's.  Then I took it off and ran with the stock exhaust and I still beat everyone which made me come to the conclusion along with everyone else that my 400ex is not stock inside the motor.

To me it seems a lot of people are satisfied more with the HMF.  Its cheaper and adds 3.5-4HP.  White Bros adds 2-4 Peak HP and cost more.

There are only so many ways to make a "glasspack". I have a hard time believing you would see much difference in performance between any of them. Difference in quality maybe. I run a stock exhaust on my bike because of durability, the aluminum cans fall apart. I dont give away too many races.

Well right now my 400ex is stock but I can run with a Banshee and beat other 400's that are modded.  So I wonder if it is worth it or not to get a Slip-on exhaust for it.

I'd save my $400 and buy gas and ride the crap out of it. Buy a good set of tires and save up for a set of shocks or for your step up to a 450.

Actually I don't want a 450, I don't care for them.  I can get 450R front shocks for $200.  Is it worth it?

i got them for 100 and they were worth it.

Post by: FoxHondaRider on May 10, 2007, 05:09:13 PM
so they made that much more of a ride difference?  Where did you get them for $100?

Post by: FoxHondaRider on May 10, 2007, 09:26:03 PM
Well so far HMF is winning all the votes and seems like a better choice.  Gearhead400 get back to me were you picked up those shocks so cheap.


Thanks

Clearly HMF won.  Thanks for the help everyone.   If you still have any opinion or haven't voted please do so.

Anyone know where I can find an HMF Slip-on for the cheapest price?  Motosport is $239.
