Default Pipe Power Difference (yoshi vs. sparks observation)

Ive had both pipes with not a whole lot of difference between them, with the Sparks giving more all around power than the yoshi. My question is to all those who have pipes only. Can anyone pull a wheelie in 3rd with stock gearing with only a pipe and filter modification on flat ground. I can if i pull back on it and scoot back on the seat, but can anyone get it up by just throwing the gas only? I couldnt with the yoshi or the sparks.

I forgot to add, my raptor required bigger mains and pilots with the sparks, so I assume the sparks flows way more than the yoshi which equals more power. MAinly i was jsut wanting to see how everyones pipe performed and everyone tries wheelies.

After I got rid of the air box and put on my adapter I could pull 3rd gear wheelies on flat ground only using the throttle and this is with a Yosh full pipe.

I have airbox, no lid, and I've been tryin for the last few days to do fourth gear wheelys, I can get third gear wheelys with NO problem. And thats not even leaning back hardly! Stock gearing also. I have Itp holeshots or something though. They are smaller than stock.

I haven't ridden w/ my new pipe or Proflow yet but, i could do 3rd gear wheelies only by clutching when sitting forward (Riding Position) on the seat.. Hope the pipe makes a difference

even with my high gearing and +4" swingarm I can pull 3rd gear wheelies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] 4th gear if I yank hard enough on the bars, this is all in sand also. (ignore the engine mods [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

Hey BigScary,,, Did you get the "magic limited one" with the supercharger or, the 10 speed gear box? I highly Doubt 4th gear wheelies w/ease and, 5th with clutch!

I've been riding a long time so i think i know how and, i've tried everything short of blowing the clutch out of the basket to wheelie at those speeds and, no dice (stock bike)! 4th i'd say maybe if you were standing on the grab bar and jumped but, 5th you'd be in excess of 55MPH! You'd just feather "(little Clutch Action)" the clutch at 55 and, it would come up?? Sure!

I won't say your lying but, i can't see it...Maybe your Quad God?

You all are telling me you can get it up in 3rd by only throwing the throttle wide open? No clutching, no shifting weight, no pulling back, stock gearing, stock tires, level ground. I cant get mine up in 3rd by doing that, but i can if i sit back and pull up. But i weigh 220, that might be hindering me a little. I just cant see a piped quad doing that in 3rd, maybe im not jetted right.
