I'd have to disagree(since I was there and watched ALL of the races. Not just the filmed ones.) The Barker equipped bike had fewer engine modifications, and was able to run with and/or beat all of the bikes it came up against.

The LTE's are a top end pipe. No question about it.

All I know, is "If I was going to build a pipe, again IF, then it would be as straight as possible and of equal length especially with duals.

I like the LTE but one side winds around under seat and is longer than the right site? That is why they changed the prototype of the Barkers (I would be guessing)

LTE's are probably more ridable (out of the way) But Stallion has no problem riding his with his heat sheild on it?

I'm not a engine builder nor do I build pipes but I would think the straighter less turns equals less turbulance and more velocity???

Not sure, I would choose the Sparks over the LTE's but the Barker's over the Sparks...JMO???

I believe LTE kept them fairly equal length by using the LH header outlet on the RH side of the bike, and visa versa. Looking at the stand alone picture(the one in their "ATV's section), on their website. They look to be pretty equal length to me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Luckily, for the Stallion, he was blessed with long legs. Those of us with short legs, such as myself, would like some pipes more out of the way. Have you ridden yours with the Barker's yet?

what is their website?

other than the length, less bends seem to flow better in my opinion, and I think we would both agree that the barkers are straighter than the LTE's?

I agree the Barker's are definately straighter.
