I think the DMC is only a full system as well, since it is dual pipe all the way back to the silencer.

Look this topic has been beat to death. It pretty much just comes down to what u like and can afford. All the pipes give a power gain and they all are pretty close to each other and a good rider makes more of a difference than 2 horse power.

According to the shootout in Feb. 2002 Dirtwheels, the Sparks puts out 44 peak HP, and the Yosh puts out 46 peak HP. The CT pipe puts out 48 HP, but they said it was way too loud for anyones likings. They gave the nod to the Yosh for overall fit/finish, quality, looks, power, and sound. They didn't have a DMC in the shootout, but I've never heard anything good about them from the three people I know that have them.

Okay, then go out, buy ten pipes between $400-$500, try 'em out, and let us know your findings.

I can see where the shootouts between quads can get pretty biased, but when your running pipes on a dyno, the numbers pretty much speak for themselves.

I Cant comment on "absolute optimum peak performance" but as far as quality and fit & finish the Yosh is very well built and I expect it will last a long time !
