I need to buy a pipe for my Raptor too, is it worth it to get the head pipes or just a slip-on? Is there much more of a difference with the header, is it worth and extra $200+?

Since you live in Oregon, have you look into LRD pipe set up? They are worth every peeny of it.

I know Airraptor really like his 727 kit from Trinity. Also he is working on more mod for his bike too...

 

The sparks in my opinion is the best out there. It gives huge poerformance throught the entire powerband and sounds awesome. I have beaten Rapy's with E-series,R4,Powercore4, and yes, the CT. Sparks is an extremly good exhaust and in my opinions is worth every penny,

Below is a link to the exhaust dyno numbers and pipe shootout for the Raptor. It does appear that all that $$$ is worth the HP increase. I could only dream of getting this type of bang from a Z400 exhaust.



Raptor exhaust shootout!

 

Sloberdog those shootouts are a joke when you get a full pipe system the seat of the pants and ear to ear smile is priceless!

 

Alot of My buddies ride Raptors and we all run different pipes ( full systems), and I have to say that I can not notice much of a difference between any of them other than sound. the actual horse power difference between each pipe ( if all you are doing is piping) is not even really noticeable.

If the power isn't noticable then the bike isn't jetted right there is a huge difference!!

 

Het Pats , the jetting makes a " Huge" difference ... if that's the case what what size jets would you recommend I run with my Biggun exhaust ??

 

Nevermind Pats, I did a search on jetting and i am going to try a few different combos see what works best.

 

Anyone have any more advice??
