when i get the $$ i think this is the set up for me. i like the yoshimura
head pipe in titanium because it retains the heat sheilds. with a big gun
silencer with the Q core. because 94 decibels will soon be the law everywhere.
or should i skip the pipe and get axle + 5.

The Raptor has plenty of power stock. I'd suggest getting a wider axle, +2 or +3 a-arms, and some better suspension to improve it's handling.

make sure they line up and fit correctly first.

VMAX12, from an MXers point of view, I would say get the axle. From your mods list, it sounds like you ride dunes, so you might not feel the same way as I do.

I started thinking one day about MXing my Banshee. Now it's a given fact that to MX you have to have your machine piped.. right? WRONG. I have placed in the top 3 every race I have rode in, and have stock headers with FMF silencers. I know I ride a 2 stroke, BUT, how often am I going to get into 6th gear on an MX track?? Never I hope.

I agree with IceMan11, I know you dont ride full throttle, 6th gear all the time, so why do you want it to go faster? The bike is only as fast as the rider, and the riders only as good as the suspension. I'd go with the axle.
