From what I hear, DG(dollar general) suck real bad. This may or may not be true but people that I have talked to,said they didn't like them. So, I'd say go for the cobra!

Once upon a time I had an '85 ATC200X. My brother also had an '83 ATC200X. I had a DG Aluminum RCM and he had a 3" Supertrapp. The DG was definitely louder, but it made more power. I set my quad up with both pipes and did alternating drag runs and the DG allowed me to accelerate faster than the Supertrapp. The Supertrapp had a noticable low-end advantage, but from mid to top it was all DG. After I put a web-cam in my 200X, the thing came alive (it also had the DG pipe and K&N air filter, no lid, rejetted for sea-level).

Basically, in this case, the DG exhaust worked great, and it wasn't that expensive. It also came with a larger head pipe, which probable explains the top-end power. Although I don't recommend building up a 200X, about the most you would want to go is pipe, filter, cam... after that, reliability suffers bad.

It is, after all, just a 200X... fun, but with mediocre power!

I can't remember off the top of my head, I got it from James Lucky. I am pretty sure that Powroll carries that same mid-range web-cam. Check on their website, or get a James Lucky catalog.
