I picked the PowerBomb. It reduces noise slightly, and cools the exhaust.

ok but loader doesn't make it faster....

high flows will give you a general overall upgrade from stock.

the bomb needs a little time to fill before it dumps out of the chamber....

when you open up the header flow you are creating less back pressure on the exhaust system.

this give you the ability to perform at the bikes potential in the upper rpm... high flow is less concerned w/ the low in.

that's why i kept my stock header and went w/ a good slip on from LRD. I don't have to go 80 mph but i want my bike to leave as best it can.

Less sound = more ground!

Most of the negative crap we get from the general public, is based on the noise our machines make. I have two very stealthy quiet dual-sport dirt bikes, and I ride around state parks (off-road, where no quads or dirt bikes can ride....I have the whole place to myself!), and I get nothing but waves and smiles from people. You think they would do that if I was loud and obnoxious.

Louder is always a dumb a$$ idea!!!

Another effect of the PowerBomb is to effectively make the header "longer", by increasing the area inside (but without actually increasing the length). The effect of a longer header is to favor low end power, which is where this trail quad excells!
