I've noticed that after a lot of reading on here that these pipes are one of the best made for the Raptor. I've also heard a lot of people really like the CT racing and Sparks Racing pipes too. But, it appears to me that after reading the article in Dirtwheels, it was pretty much a worthless article. Now, if they had tested all the pipes using the same jetting, same airbox mods, and the different pipes, then we would have really known who was the top performing pipe. But, since they had so many different configurations, it was pretty much useless to me. Now, what I did discover though, is that the Yoshi pipes have some of the best build quality, and one of the highest power outputs too, not to mention being the quietest of the bunch too. I like loud, but if I can get the same power out of a quieter system, why not do it.

So, I've noticed that on Yoshi's site, they appear to have two different complete systems: TRC Pro Series, and TRC Comp Series. In addition, they appear to have a carbon fiber option for the Pro Series too. Now, at Rocky Mountain ATV I can find the Titanium Pro Series, but not the Carbon Fiber Option. Where can I find this to buy?

Now, if anyone can prove me wrong about these three pipes, I'd love to see it. I think that if you removed the lids, ran the 170/175 jets that CT racing did, trimmed out the snorkel, the results would be totally different. In addition, CT racing and Sparks pipes are extremely loud and heavy. The Yoshi pipe is probably one of the lightest pipes in existance at 4.3lbs.

So, here's what I'm looking at:

Yoshimura CT racing Sparks
4.3 lbs 11.25 lbs 10 lbs
100 db 103 db 102 db

I'd sure love to see a dyno with my above mentioned specs to see which pipe is actually the better pipe. What do you guys all think of my idea? Does anyone have any solid facts that can back up the claims that CT racing and Sparks are far superior in performance than the Yoshi pipe?

Also, I can't find anyone that sells these TRC Pro Series, except for Rocky Mountain ATV, whcih appears to only sell the titanium version and not the Cabon Fiber. Anyone know where to get them? I'd really like to stay away from buying direct from Yoshi, because they cost a lot more.

check the Yoshi site for a list of their retailers...you might find something there...

 

Their site isn't working right now.

my friend has a yoshi comp on his '03 raptor. he loves it. not too loud either.

 

I've got a TRS Yoshimura Pipe for the Raptor that I am trying to get rid of. It has about 20 hours on it. I'm in Oak Ridge so you can see the pipe if you want.

Thanks

 

Why are you getting rid of it?
