I wanting to get new exhaust for my Rap but can't decide what to get. I really like the DMC but I thought I'd ask you guys what you thought. It will be my first engine mod.

From what I have read here, I've read a lot of negatives on the CT. The few posts I have read on the DMC were positive, I consider myself a bit of novice and can only pass along what I've read on here. I know what I have on my Raptor and it woke it up very nicely.

from what i have read on this post all pipes are working for people. the raptor is so resticted that anything that opens up the airflow is making the raptor alot more responsive.some pipes will give you more bottom then top and vise versu.dmc from what ive heard gives you mid and top more then bottom end.any pipe you go with you will notice alot of difference from stock.

Most of the pipes will do the same HP numbers if jetted/air box is done right. So pick the pipe you like the looks of (pst Trinity, sublimal message here) and don't look back. Take pipe shoot outs with a grain of salt. Do not wake up Zombie660r with your CT pipe cause he gets upset that he wasted money on that set-up. His dyno showed the DMC alien was better. Zombie, what did you do with the CT pipe?

Holy Jesus Mother of God! Y'all tryin to get me all fired up aren't ya? I swapped after reading the DW sh!tout from the Alien to the CT and lost 4hp and 6 Ft Lbs of Torque! I too read the DW **** out, that was done on CT"S DYNO. I did a swap on the Dyno from the DMC Alien to the CT hunk-O-****. I got ripped off about a grand. Man, I'm still Livid over that ****. Tha Alien has proven itself to me over and over again. The only problem was my engine had too much torque and was twisting in the frame, thus snapping header bolts. DMC fixed this with stainless flanges. What did I do with my CT pipe? I got a Buddy who likes to partake in some.........well "Herbal Elightenment" so I gave it to him and he now uses it as a great big silver BONG. Cause that what DW was using it for when they said they got 14 hp outta the B!TCH. Well there ya go, I hope your all happy. Now that I'm all pi$$ed off, I'm gonna go kick the **** outta the ol' ladies cat.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Rob, yes that is also Correct. Thanks for bein on the Ball. I had my flanges replaced with the Stainless steel ones and were still breaking Header Bolts. Soooo I had to put rubber grommets in the silencer brackets.
I also Honda 8mm header bolts put in. My Engine was twisting in the Frame
I could see the wear in the mounting Bracketts.

Zombie,
Wish I knew how you felt a few months ago. The day I bought my Rap, there was a guy at the dealer picking up a pair of C'dales, he told me he makes CT pipes etc. He proceded to tell me how o jet the Raptor after installing pipes, blah, blah, blah.
Anyhow, I would've been glad to pass on your feelings to him as long as it didn't land me in jail for assault and battery.
