If you want to KEEP riding there, you ought to go back to stock exhaust. Loss of only about 2 hp on a 400ex.

I hate to break it to you... free flowing (loud) aftermarket exhuasts don't add low-end grunt. They add higher rev'ing power (when your engine actually has half a chance at filling the exhaust path). What's so wrong with stock and quiet? If you can't pull wheelies with the stock pipe, try leaning back a little--it does wonders.

Loud pipes close riding areas. Keep them on the tracks, please.
