Default another raptor pipe question

alright.....the hmf fullsystem claims 8hp almost from bottom to top. looks to have a smooth curve.
i also like the fmf titanium 14" canister and a high flo header. that claims to have an average gain of just under 20% which comes out to close to the hmf. and then the yoshi pipe....ah the dreaded dirtwheels claim of 46 hp. all look good and all cost about the same. i have an eseries slip on......kn filter......146/150 jets. anyone have any experience w/ any or all of these. oh ya i have a wiseco 11:1 also. looking for moderate bottom, strong mid, and not lacking in top end. would also consider buying used ct, trinity or any that i am asking about. also have clutches that i need to put in. please dont tell me to do a search........been there. i just want some personal input.....thanks ahead of time for all replies and opinions.

good enough start....didnt figure i would find too many that didnt like the yoshi! what good sand spots are there to ride down around biloxi/gulfport? me and a friend could be down that way around the spring b/c he is going to a bike week thing again down there and i might make it to a bowling tourny in gautier.

I have tried all the pipe you said and the Sparks is by far the BEST system out there

You will not find a better pipe than te sparks x-6.The fit and finish is first class.

How much better is the Sparks pipe than the Yoshi comp? Bottom - Mid- Top? How much louder? I don't know how fit and finish could be better than the Yoshi, it's a high quality unit. Thanks!

It has a little more on bottom then the Yoshi but has way more in the mid to top. I don't remember if its louder just a better sound. Fit and finish is better because you don't have the ugly springs and the ceramic look tough, the Yoshi stainless always turn color also and the headers blue at the engine
