They are, its just that he must have some pretty picky neighbors -

You removed the packing inside the pipes? Not only will it make it louder, even though you say it didn't, it will make your quad slower. Both problems may or may not be real noticable. These are looney tuned exhaust sytems your talking of yes?

There should be packing in the mufflers around the outside of the metal screens with the holes in it. This keeps the inside diameter of the pipe the same all the way through and also helps quiet things down. If the exhaust leaving the quad has to go into and out of all these holes in the muffler it will cause turbulance and will not be removing the amount of exhaust as it should be. The performance will suffer some.

No. But I'd still re pack them when you can. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Do you have the quiet cores inserted and the spark arrestors installed on them?

Q]Wrong. The Predator is faster than a Raptor stock vs stock. But the YFZ is faster than any other quad made today, stock vs stock. [/quote]

i read that the pred was faster than the raptor, i also read and heard the raptor was faster than the yfz.
so that makes the pred the fastest. have i actually gone out and tested for my self no. but i trust what i read was true.

ya the yfz is slower than the raptor.. it only goes around 72... and the raptor goes a lil faster than that.. and the pred is prolly the same as a raptor.

I'm talking 300' drags. That's what counts. That's what seperates the men from the boys. Not the top speed.
