decisons, decisions
I pulled up this great article on "KFX/Z-400 Exhaust Shootout" from Dirt Wheels March 2003 - http://www.ctracing.com/ltz400%20pip...t%20mag%20.htm
I am deciding between the HMF and the CT pipes. The HMF cranks out .7HP more at 4000rpms and the CT is .8HP more at peak rpm. The HMF package (pipe, header, jet and filter) is about a little less than $100 than the CT package - I've done my own research. My question is: are these "minute" differences actually felt on the bike? I'm a newbie, will it make much of a difference? Thanks for you opinions.

Go with the HMF. Looks like the only deciding factor between the 2 setups is price. Unless you count the fact that the CT needs a smaller jet size which helps on fuel comsumption.
I seriously doubt you will tell the .7 or .8 hp difference. If you think you will then lose 5-10lbs and that should even it out.

$449 for complete exhaust system, jet kit and a foam filter at ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5868499&rd=1,1
I'd call that a good deal. Thanks guys. It looks like it's going to be the HMF pipe. Luv the color too.
