Magazines usually have 3 month lead times, so figure february to march for that issue. I looked at the jan issue and it has a suspension build up on a 700.

I have not seen a pic of the CT system yet.

From what i have seen(LRD,HMF, FMF, GYTR, Pro Circuit, Trinity), Trinity has the best header design. I think the muffler leaves a little to be desired for however.

I cant wait to read the issue though.

No I do not work for Dirt Wheels. Where in my post did I say the next issue??? If you don't know what the word upcoming means I suggest you look it up in a dictionary. Remember, Opinions are like A$$ Holes. Everyone has one....

It was 6 months after DW did a test on my Turbo DS that it hit circulation. Pipe shootout shouldn't take that long though.
It's funny on how many pipe builders had 700 systems for the test but they are not in general production yet.

Below is the HP curve with CT. It will be tough to do better than that.

If their graph is true then they have the best gains I've seen on a 700. I really like that top end.

The graph isn't just a pipe though. No lid and FMS is probably more than half the gain in itself.

Wow...i can't believe you guys think those stupid shootouts are so accurate. Dirtwheels hasn't written an accurate thing for 5 years, whoever gives them more money will get more attention and praise, period. Those CT systems have won every dirtwheels shootout they've participated in for every quad every year they do it, but I've yet to see a quad with that system producing anymore power than anyother exhaust...I've never lost to one with that system. Also, disk setups are a pain in the BUTT! The claims on CT's site are rediculously exadurrated and always have been. They've been trying to claim the most HP gain for years, but I don't believe it.

CT has won the peak hp and almost all of the power curve parts of every pipe shoot out. and it is because of the disc type silencer. i dont know about you but i dont care what something looks like as long as it makes me go fast. im not some pretty boy with a good LOOKING ride.
