Sell your Big Gun and buy the Yosh!! Did you see the pipe shootout in Dirt Wheels? That should tell you the Yoshi system makes better power. Don't know if it's true, but it is said a system made out of titanium makes a bit better power because it controls heat loss better. I have the full titanium pipe on my Raptor, and absolutely love it. You cannot beat the craftsmanship of their systems, and it really does turn a pretty gold, purple, and blue color from the heat. The power rocks!!!

the head pipe will change if you don't have it properly jetted when you crank it. the titanium really plays a role in saving weight. i've had mine for around 8 months. and the reason i chose this pipe was simply because the 660 is a motorcycle engine. it came from yamaha's mz scorpion repli-racer and a few other applications. so why not go with the people who know motorcycles best? i would be all over this. i'm pretty sure you'll notice a diference. always spend a little extra time with your jetting.

one of the best purchases i ever made... the pipe is built so nice..i have the race pipe with stainless steel header..titanium canister....the craftmanship is superior to any other pipe i have seen..including white Bros r and E series..which i had both before the YOSHI....the power is awesome too!!. I reallyt don't see spending and additonal 250 bucks to get the full titanium ...unless you have to have it or you are real weight consious..the stainless steel header is fine..and guess what ? it changes colors also and you can rub em out with some mothers polish...i don't think you can do that to titanium..but i coul d be wrong

the yoshi is a good pipe, but dont think just changing pipes is going to make a big difference in your performance, your big gun did not rate high on the shoot-out but look at the other mods involved (airbox and such), save your money get a prodesign with k&n filter a dynojet kit open your airbox, this will give you way more than the difference between pipes, or better still get a high comp piston and cam. either way you will get more out of it than just switching pipes
