Title: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 18, 2003, 11:52:05 AM What are the advantages and disadvantages between them.
Is it worth the 200 extra dollors to get the header as well. What is a good pipe for my 03 400EX i am looking for low to mid power. Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: 400EX on November 18, 2003, 12:08:16 PM I got the white brothers R-4 exhaust. I like it a lot. it sounds good. not sure how much more horsepower u get from it. It was already on there when i baught the bike but its nice. lata

Check out HMF they make a great pipe at a reasonable price. Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 18, 2003, 04:52:19 PM What type of power will i be getting if i get the header???
low??? mid??? high??? Is the header worth the extra 200?????? Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: erbilabuc on November 18, 2003, 05:43:58 PM the header is only worth it if you are trying to squeeze out every possible amount of horsepower possible, we are talking a fraction of a horsepower. Slip on is good enough in my opinion.
Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 18, 2003, 06:00:43 PM Thanks thats what i will do then
Also what about rejetting the carb??? Hey, make sure you join the ride to Big scrub first weekend in decmeber info on it in last big scrub ride topic Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: erbilabuc on November 18, 2003, 06:04:13 PM i would go up about 4 sizes if all you are doing is the slip on and work your way down if you are rich.
Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 18, 2003, 08:25:08 PM Alright well do
Thanks for the info Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 19, 2003, 04:17:05 PM If i can get a full DG pipe for a real good deal is it worth the buy???
Is there any pipe that is better than another??? Is there a pipe to stay away from??? Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: erbilabuc on November 19, 2003, 04:35:26 PM depends what a real good deal is? I used to have a raptor and bought a ful yoshi exhaust for 150$ and that was a real good deal to me but it really didnt do what I expected it to do. If you can get the head pipe and slip on for the same price somewhere as the slip on by itself then do it. Like I said before you arent going to notice that much of a difference. I would look for a used one on Ebay or such.

I have a fmf powercore 4 and its decent, i gained some low to mid. Here's a link to a pipe shootout for ya http://www.atvnews.com/output.cfm?id=30961
Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on November 19, 2003, 05:47:01 PM 4 words for you,
WHITE BROTHERS E SERIES, Next to Yoshi it ids the best, you might not have to jet your carb because of the discs in the pipe. You will love that slip on.

Check out HMF they make a great pipe at a reasonable price. I'd have to second this. I've never heard a complaint with HMF. Everyone loves their product and how well it performs. Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 19, 2003, 07:06:08 PM Alright I am sold i have read a few things and i will be getting an HMF pipe!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: the return of QuadDork on November 20, 2003, 04:55:26 AM might want to think about getting the quiet core for the HMF... i dont know what they sound like on a 400ex but i have one on my raptor 686 and it will make your ears bleed!!! its rated about 107 db.
but it does have its advantages... my girlfriend is always asking why i never answer her when she's talking to me... i just blame it on hearing loss from the pipe!!! Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: SmoothyRunsHouseofHorsepower on November 20, 2003, 03:01:15 PM HAHAH thats great ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hey any good news on a White's E series pipe I can get a SICK deal on it Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: the return of QuadDork on November 20, 2003, 03:13:00 PM i've never heard a bad thing about them... plus they have the disks so you can fine tune the power.
Title: Re: Slip on......or.......Full Pipe Post by: kfxscrambler on November 21, 2003, 07:27:04 AM Remove the head pipe and look inside to see if there is a heavy weld bead where the mounting flange is welded to the pipe. The bead can be grinded down to increase air flow. Some pipes have heavy beads on them and this will cause air flow restrictions. You should rejet when increasing air flow.
