I am trying to decide what pipe to get my 2001 Raptor. I'm thinking about just getting a slip-on because I dont have the kind of money to get the full system. I'm looking for the best all around one (meaning noise, power, and weight.) that is a good price. Thanks

 

Sparks makes a great pipe for the raptor with good gains in hp and torque. Thou, its loud. But I dont mind the noise.

 

sparks is a full system, and costs over 500 bucks.

There are lots of slip ons for the raptor. White bros, yoshimura, and gtyr all make good ones. The noise isnt as bad as the full pipes, and you drop some wieght as well.

 

CT Racing pipe is unbeatable.

2002 Raptor
CT full pipe
Hot Cam Stage 1
Port & Polished Head
Wiseco 666 11:1 Kit
Eyeball Eng. +2 Swingarm
Durablue +2 axle
Dynoed 55.2horsepower at the wheels.

 

You might consider buying a used Yoshi Slip-on...

 

When they had a pipe shootout in DW, they said CT sonic gave the most power and was on the lower side of the decibal levels.

 

Thats great guys, but you are missing the point. He wants a cheaper pipe, a slip on.

Check ebay for some. Magicracing and rockymountainatv usually have some decent deals, and the back of an atv magazine is a good place to start as well.

 

i have had my eye on a yoshi slip on for a while. but i hear that the DMC alien puts out more power. I found an alien for $241, plus another $54 for the spark arrester. The yoshi i found was the RS-3 comp series, and it was priced at $321. both were at gopartsdirect.com. which one would be the better choice?

 

I havent had any experience with the slip on alien, but the yoshi performs well. I would suggest reposting that last question in the yamaha forum, you will get answers from lots of experienced riders.

 

I may be selling a Muzzy slip-on in the near future. Supposedly Muzzy actually makes the pipes for Yoshimura, basically the same thing.
