I'm trying to help a buddy out building his raptor & wanted to know what is a good all around pipe for the raptor at a good price. He's going with hi-comp stock bore piston, stage 2 hot cams & pro flow filters/adaptor. So what do ya'll think for a pipe?

 

The Yoshi seems to be the most preferred. Some say the stock headpipe is pretty good if you dont wanna go all out... just depends on how much you wanna spend

 

I am not loaded so I had to stay with a slip-on but I bought a Yoshimura and love it, the sound hasn't warped, and over a year of abuse the packing hasn't been destroyed in it either.

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

Yoshi is a top end pipe, with good midrange. Kind of like a weak sparks pipe, but a lot quieter.

I have the yoshi comp, and it rocks. It has a nice sound to it and will give you some power that is noticeable.

 

There's a Sparks full pipe on Ebay right now, $260. Pretty clean looking to. Ends in less than 2 days.

From what i see on the dunes where i ride the CT RACING or the SPARKS seem to be the best performers if you want a slip on.The yoshimura is a good pipe but a friend of mine has one on his 686 and it seems to be more of a top end pipe than the CT or the SPARKS.

 

Thanks again for the great info & replies. I wasn't expecting any response on this topic because ya'll get this (pipe questions) all the time.
Thanks!
