I just put one on mine and it made a big difference low end. In fact I came around a corner in second with the front end up, let off the gas and punch it again and flipped it. Bent my grab bar, crack the plastic in the back, cracked the plastic in the front. It land upside down and now i'm leaking coolant somewhere. I got my for $100 of ebay and it was the best 100 i've spent on my raptor. The sound is awsome but i don't think my neighbors like it..lol. I think the best thing about is that I don't have bog in second gear anymore.

Mine performs well but has an exhaust leak where it meets the stock pipe. At start-up it spays wet (condensation) black soot all over the place. Once it warms up it appears to seal OK.

To be honest if I was to do it all over I'd buy something else that has a good positive seal.

Based on the DW review there are numerous pipes that perform as good if not better that likely seal well.

I have one with the power bomb header, I HATE IT. Now if you are looking at a pipe for just low end it might be the one for you. When I put mine on I lost my top end, maybe not lost but I didn't gain near what I did on the bottom. All the ones I have seen,4 , leak at the junction with the head pipe. It does look good and saves weight, but if I did it again I would check out CTs, Trinitys, and Duncans new one.
