my vote is for the CT Sonic pipe kit... and from what I've heard, the Compound also endorses that choice... hehehe...

Well make that another vote for CT, just to make it unanimous. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The Graydon/proline is the same pipe as the CT, so all 3 responders are running the same pipe.

Assuming that all header/silencer combos make essentially the same power, then looks, fit & finish etc, weighs in as well.

The one thing I like about CT's kit is that it's complete. K&N Pro Design filter kit, jet kit w/titanium needles and complete ceramic coated pipe (looks like chrome) with aluminum silencer. Instructions on where to start on the jetting are included. The price is pretty good, $599 for all of this.

Nothing wrong with other brands, but I was gonna buy all of that anyways and it saved some money, time and effort.

raptor3,

That is exactly the same setup I want to do if I get the o3 Raptor. How much was it for the whole kit? I know the dealers sell them but I thought maybe an aftermarket place may be cheaper? Also, how much more power do you feel you gained over stock? I know the article in Dirt Wheels, which compared twelve different pipes, said it gives about 46hp at the top-10 or more hp more.
