DMC is coming out with a new version of their double barrel exhaust system. They call it the Alien because the profile of the silencer is shaped like an alien's head. I wonder if it will be any better than the standard double barrel system. Personally I prefer the looks of the standard system but I would get the Alien if it worked better. I have seen a couple dyno charts for the standard double barrel system and they all showed a rough power curve with lots of spikes and dips. Perhaps the new design will smooth the power curve out a bit?

Has anyone heard when this system will be out? Apparently it is already available for the Raptor- any reports on how well it works with the Raptor?

I email DMC a few days ago and asked the same question. I'm still waiting for a reply.

You can't always believe the dyno's. I can't see how the it had dips and spikes, because my 400EX pulls hard from bottom to top. I don't feel any spikes in the powerband from the seat-of-the-pants. There is only so much power a pipe can give a 4-stroke, and i think it will be pretty tough to better the original DMC. If it is though, i'd be in line to get one.
