ITS FINALLY DONE!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!
i had a feeling that the quiet core wasn't going to keep it down to 91db. they claim this on their site, but i have no clue what bike that is for. it is probally for a 250ex or something. lol
aftermarket headers wouldn't be of a benefit. i doubt you will be able to find too many aftermarket headers that fit the stock silencer besides the powerbong headers. i haven't heard an hmf pipe, but i have been told that they are louder than my sparks x-6 when they don't have the quiet cores. the wiseco pistons are not that bad of a piston, just the compresssion ratios are wrong. if you ever do it again, i would get the je or ross. i imagine the higher compression you go, within limits, the better since you are running a stage 2 cam. i am running that cam too with my 10.8 ross with thinner gaskets and i think my bike would run bettter with higher compression yet.

i just got my 440ex all assembled and drove it for the fist time in almost 2 months, i took it from a bone stock yellow 400~in very bad shape - to a screaming silver 440, its like a night and day difference, starts right up even though i no longer have the decompression mechainism, has a little less bottom end but waaaaay more mid and top end and now i actually have all 5 gears! still trying to get used to having second gear (2nd was blown when i got it), it pulls hard through all the gears and im really pleased with the power increase. still havent tested it on the track or trail, just a big open field for about a half hour so i didnt get a real good feel for it, the one thing i really noticed was the loss of bottom end power, will some of it be regained when its all broken in? what could i do to increase bottom end power, other than a pipe?
-i will have pictures of the finished product tomorrow
