Buggy,
Did you get the complete full-race exhaust?,And
how much did you pay for your exhaust? I'm also
interested on the Graydon exhaust.

lou,

i purchased them for 399.99 from the graydon ad in the latest dirtwheels mag. the gentleman that i talked to this morning said that it includes all of the necessary jetting kits as well. i hope i did not make the wrong decision, but its hard to find truthful posts alot (not all) of the time. so i'll go with this and give it a shot. i was also thinking of the riva edtion of the fmf pipe. riva makes outstanding watercraft parts and are top notch.

Buggy,
Thanks, for the info. And let us know how they turn out. They look sweet,plus they're ceramic
coated. Good luck with your Graydons.

I loved my 400EX and thought it was the best, even after riding a DS the 400EX was so much better. But then I rode a Raptor, and loved it. Went out and bought one and havent went back for the 400EX. The Raptor feels so much more powerfull. The 2 bikes handle about the same regardless what others say. The Raptor is much more comfortable. I am 6'2", I never feel cramped after long rides. There is really no comparison, what the 400ex does good the Raptor does better. I am not ******* the 400ex i love it thats why I havent sold it, the Raptor is just better. At least for me!!

You havent beat a Banshee yet on your Raptor? What are you doin wrong. Stock vrs. Stock it is no comparison, any terrain. I raced to on a black topped damn and destroyed both really bad three differant times. I have also Raced one with only a set of pipes and I beat him but only by about 4 bike lengths. A Banshee is nothing unless you invest some serious cash into it.
