another pipe i am considering is the white brothers e series pipe, how much louder are they than a stock silencer? are they tunable? any help wouldbe apprecited. thanks

 

they are much louder than stock

 

I have the white bros e series pipe and i love it. Never had any problems with mine except for the fact that you have to cover the end when it is raining or washing it so the packing does not get wet. You can run up to 28 discs on it. I am presently running 12 and i like the low end torque because i ride trails and creeks alot. But i have been told the more discs you add the more top end you get. Good luck with whatever you choose. They all have there strengths. But if I could do it all over again i would probably go with a pipe that is somewhat quieter. Everyone hates riding behind you. The only time I enjoy the sound is when I go out to the dunes.

 

They are very tunable. I have one on the wife's 400. When I ride it I add all the disks and make it real loud. She likes it quieter so I remove a few. Good Luck.

 

The specs for the White Bros E series

*Brand, hp @ 4000rpm, peak hp, sound level, weight, price*

White Bros E Series-14.7, 27.9, 95db, 5.1lbs, $259.00

Stock-13.0, 26.9, 88db, 8.6lbs, $187.50

Hope this helps

 

The E-series has been tested too be the best exhaust available for the 400ex. It turns out 1 screaming horse on top end..LMAO..mid range gains are better though...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

 

Good to some else realizes theres more to a pipe than the total hp numbers at top rpm. Things like loudness and adjustability etc are a benefit also.

Most of the people I ride with (various machines) all have very loud pipes from sparks, HMF, T4 etc and my ole FMF magamax sounds like a stocker in comparison, unless I run 20+ discs or remove the end cap entirely, but then its less powerfull in the lower and mid and no fun on the trails.

Everything is a trade off.
