my kids is coming apart.

 

which one fmf or lrd? iIs comeing apart

 

The FMF 400EX pipes have been known to fall apart after a year or two of riding. I've seen alot of them actually rust solid to the stock headpipe. 2 of my friends actually had to cut the stock header to take the FMF muffler off of thier bikes.

Don't know much about LRD. They're supposed to be good, buy you don't see alot of them on the trails or in the dunes.

Seems like the most popular pipes for the 400ex are the White Brothers and the Pro Circuit slip-ons. (They also cost the least amount). I went with the Yoshi pipe, and have been very happy with it (but it cost alot more too).

 

is the Yoshi pipe loud?

 

It's not too loud. I'd say it's right about the same as the other pipes. I bought the Tuneable End Caps kit, and the smaller end caps really decrease the noise output if your riding in an area that has noise restrictions. It's a good pipe, good fit, sound, looks, gains, etc... I'm sure most other brands are about the same, but I'm a little biased because I've got a Yoshi.

 

Get the LRD, they are awesome pipes

 

LRD, i havent heard anything good come out the mouths of any fmf owners!

 

no problems with mine so far .. other than it being a shade too long. Sticks past the grab bar by about an inch or so ..

 

I have the PCIV and PowerBomb Header on the 400EX. Had them on the 300EX and Warrior also. Great performance. No problems. Didn't fall apart. Didn't rust!
