Default Dual Pipes for the Raptor

So are they quiet or loud?Im planing on gettin em soon,but I need em to be quiet...If I leave the spark arestor in will I get it somewhere near to stock quietness?!?
Also,Fidge1,you say its a lot of installation,but is it hard installation?Would I have to get a trained mecanic to put them on without it melting something or can I do em myself???

The installation is not hard, you just have to be careful and do it right. Nothing that would require a mechanic(unless you can't install jet's).


The pipes I listened to without spark arrestor's were not loud. But were louder then stock, with the spark arrestor's, they were decently quiet. But still louder then stock.

Are you using the quietcore and spark arrester that comes with them or have you removed them? Oh and give us some pics!

Maybe I'm just crazy....or def. But I'm absolutely sure my Alba pipe is twice as loud as the LTE duals.

I have tested the LTEs on are 470 YFZ with the QCs aginst are full race pipe with out any loss of power, in fact it had better mid range. In the spring I will be testing it on a new 753cc Raptor.

Mickey, what would be your choice for better flow, the Sparks X6 or LTE with QC's? I'm curious as I'm on a 58RWHP 686 Raptor with the X6 but would like to be Oregon Dunes legal or within a DB or two so as to avoid a ticket this year. 93db ish. I'm sure my X6 is more like 103+ but makes great power.
