Now I know this is an overly talked about subject but there never seems to be a definate answer to my question from all of the recent posts. Now, I have a 02' Stock raptor, I'm just looking for the best pipe to work with a K&N w/pro flow and a jet kit (K&N or Dynojet?) Should I get a header also with the pipe? For the pipe, the price is not a matter to me, just the pipe that will work the best with my settings, there will be no internal modifications to the motor, just what pipes have the best horsepower, sound, and torque, (I was thinking Alba, CT, R4, Big Gun?) I'm looking for honest and unbiast opinions please, any help greatly apprecaited thanks

 

Honest opinion coming up:
It doesn't matter which pipe you choose as far as HP and torque, they are all about the same. Just choose the one that looks and sounds the way you like.
Your stock header will do fine until you get into the bigger engine mods.

Just like 03Raptor mention... just pick out what you think you like the best.

On mine I have LRD pipe and it really rock.....

 

I agree as above. I have a Big Gun and love it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I've tried 6 complete systems and peak hp there all about the same with in a 3hp range but the other areas of the power band is where some have alot more then others. So it really depends on where you want your power. If your a trail rider and stay in the lower gears you want a bottom end pipe, if your a duner or baja runner you want more of a mid to top range pipe. So see what your type of riding is and pick a pipe to match it.
Out of 6 pipe system the X-6 gave better power everywhere then the others hands down!!!!!! But you do not have to take my work for it ask ANYBODY who owns a Sparks
BUT there are still alot of other GOOD pipes systems out there

Well I run a full Yoshi system, and absolutely love it. So as you are finding out there is a handfull of good exhaust's, where you are going to make a difference is in your jetting, I highly reccomend you get a dyno jet kit with whatever exhaust you get! GOOD LUCK!

 

RC3 made 2 VERY good point I love the Dynojet kit and take the time and FINE tune your bike perfectly the proper jetting makes ALL the difference in the world

 

i have friends that have the yosh full race, and a couple with the fmf, they find the yoshi wins the topend, and the fmf wins the bottom to mid. another friend just bought one by dustin industries, and the quailty is great. the mbrp is a stainless pipe, that is quite, and the up keep should be easy. dirtwheelies did a shootout about a year ago. seems ct put out the most power.

 

Ct may have put out the most power but where we live we have the sound issues to deal with so we need one thats quiet and gives good gains as well.

 

Hey Pat....have you tried the Alien? If so, what are your thoughts?
