Damn freez you should market that increase. 14hp from a pipe and jet kit. Do you believe in Santa too?

I find it funny that people believe that a CT pipe can make 49HP. Dirtwheel proved the CT could make 48 HP. When I come and prove it on a sparks pipe, then I am lying. The dyno was done by a Yamaha dealer. They said they never saw a stock raptor do those numbers. Yet it did.

I also spoke to some other guys who got 49HP using a yoshi pipe. So I ask again, why is it so difficult for people to believe a sparks exhaust can do the same.

In the end your welcome not to believe me. Its your choice.

When I have the jetting perfect I will post the dyno report. It shows HP, torque and fuel mixture for those interested.

Do you honestly believe that a pipe is going to give you a 40% increase in hp? I personally have dyno'd raptors with several different pipes including sparks and I hate to tell you folks but you sure don't get anywhere near a 40% increase. That is not my opinion that is fact.

I didn't mean to start and argument when I started this thread. Everyone should know you WILL NOT get a 40% increase in H.P. from a pipe alone. I think the guy who said he was getting 49 H.P. is about right but where he is wrong is he said the stock rappy is 36 h.p it closer to 41-43 stock! per YAMAHA so that means he is getting a 6-8 h.p. gain from his pipe and everyone knows that is about the norm.

Yamaha is full of crap. The 36hp figure is more accurate but still stretching things a bit. 33-35 is a bit more accurate, imo. But dyno numbers are irrelevent cause each dyno will give you a different number on a different day.

Freez deleted the airbox too with the adaptor. Doesnt sound to far fetched for me not to believe it, there is always suprises on the dyno and no 2 stock motors are the same.

Does sparks make a 200x exhaust....i wouldn't mind having the motor he had in his bike back in the day. I think that Curtis Sparkx 200x motor was prolly the best tuned motor ever made. jmo
