Go to: http://www.hmfengineering.com/catalo...or/raptor.html
and tell me what you think. I called them today and the guy was very helpful. He says they put alot of time and care into the unit. Big Gun and HMF both use the same brand of packing. Check out their dyno tests and let me know if any of you have this system and how it does. He says they have sold alot of them to Raptor owners and from what he hears they really love em'.

For what its worth Im pretty much sold on going with HMF as of right now also. Have you heard anything on the noise level? Im just waiting for my cash flow to allow me to go for the full HMF system.....Once I get it ill be sure to post and let everyone know how it goes.

I was wondering this also but between hmf and white bros. I talked to the guy from hmf at the motorcycle expo and found out that their pipe is very loud which I didnt care for. Ilike noise but this pipe comes in at about 102-103db's which isnt even allowed in alot of riding areas along with some tracks in this area. You might want to check out white bros the pipe is great and not too loud but sounds healthy.

Why are they measuring this at MPH instead of RPM?

I have a Big Gun pipe(full system)and it performs great!Quite a bit more power than stock.Although i'm thinking of selling it because a friend of mine has a CT he wants to sell,still in the box.The only drawback i've heard, is the CT is quite loud.I just want to try one and see if there is a difference.

fox1: They also said they can custom build a pipe and put a Quiet Core silencer in it as well. And Buddah, would you want to sell your Big Gun system? Hey, I'm after saving the $ if you know what I mean.

Bartman thats pretty interesting......But what would the custom build jack the price up to? And would the power numbers still be accurate?

FoxRunner: The Quiet Core only costs $20 more and he wasn't sure on the power loss, if any. They were gonna put it on the Dyno soon. He did say that the company DynoJet used their pipe to build the kits. I'm still leaning towards it. I keep hearing bad things about the Big Gun. They can also anodize the slip on as well.
