IMO the LTE duels are the best all around pipes for the 700..There a In Frame duels so there not in the way..But the barker dyno a little better..But its not much i think its like 1 or 2 more HP..So if all you wanna do is drag the barkers will be fine..Just watch your legs..They will burn ya..But I would only have the barkers if all i was doing is dragracing..If i just want a good all around pipe the LTE are the best IMO...

Thanks again for the comments.
bberck I ordered my Pro Armor skid a couple of minutes ago. Please explain the downfalls you see with the LTE's.
I'm still torn on which pipe to pick. It looks like no one cares for Alba's pipes. I guess I'm between the LTE's, HMF, and Sparks.

Also, I wouldn't go with Alba. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. Good luck trying to get them to respond to Emails or even have any knowledge of their products

Soccermike I've had some friends that experience the same horrible customer service you are talking about, however they did make a strong pipe for the 660. In any case it seems like a good idea just to avoid them.
I got the call today my GYTR is in and it will be ready tomorrow for pickup. Still haven't ordered my exhaust though - can't decide what to get.

Check my specs. I have nothing but good to say about Curtis Sparks Racing. I don't have this rig dynoed out yet, but head to head with a 450R '06 honda with the HRC upgrade AND my grandsons built to the hilt YFZ 450 going up 700 ft comp hill at little sahara, we went wheel to wheel even. When I get it dynoed, it will overcome themm both, as long as good traction with right paddles is achieved. Also, the C Sparks pipe is well mounted. The YFZ had a Ron Woods pipe with only one bracket, and it broke. My son had to carry that sorry piece back in his camel back. I do not want to invest in something that can't handle some air and bowl riding without breaking. My set up is rock solid.Oh, I am at least up at 58 HP now. Dynoed will make it better.

Yeah, I wrote Alba an Email the other day about my experiences with them. Told them I went with Trinity instead of them because they never responded to any of my questions. Apparently that Email went to the owner. The Manager called me today, I think if I would have been there he would have S'ed My D. I guess thats one way to get through to them.
