Default help with raptor exhaust and jetting questions

Got the Raptor bug last month and am working on upgrades, mainly a slip on and jetting. Anyone got suggestions?

I like the idea that the MBRP slip on can be used with their header if you decide you want to add one later. This is not the case with Yoshi and most others. I've had real good results with the GYTR jet kit.

I like that idea because as many of us have found out the wife is watching the checkbook so adding pieces at a time is best for my hide.

a friend of mine had the wb e pipe, and it was ok. he put a yoshi full system on later, and he was a lot happier. the white bros was a little loud, but gave more power than the fmf.

not sure what the jets were at, but he put a dial a jet on when he installed the yoshi, and he'll never go back. i understand about the cost, thats the reason i dont have a pipe yet, havent saved enough money, and im still not sure about a slip on or full system.

I don't think the yoshi slip on is any more money than most.

Based on my experience, I'd recommend going with a good full system right off the bat ! I blew $250 on an FMF slip-on that promply fell apart, leaked, and totally pis#$ed me off and then woke up and went with a Yosh comp stainless system.

Save yourself the "slip-on, save a buck" phase and go with a well designed full system and do it once - you'll be money ahead. I've got almost $750 in my exhaust that if i would have just gone with a good system first it would have only cost around $420.....and I wouldnt have a melted fender (bad FMF story).

I have limited experience with Raptor exhaust systems (FMF=sucks, Yosh=works good) but can highly recommend the yosh for a good, solid, system.
