looney tune exhaust

[fab41079]

luney tune exhaust is in the making they emailed me and said they started last week for the 450R im still looking but I gotta say dual exhaust looks sweet!!!

[Goat397]

i dont think it will be dual on the fiddy but then again what do i know

[450r_rider]

Do the have a website?

[#1speedbump]

Maybe their exhaust will sound a little waskely;) j/k never heard of them but would love to see some photos or a web site

Link to them

Ok, spoke with them today. they are waiting to dyno the setup but it is done. They dont know when theyll be finalizing.

[fab41079]

Spoke 2 them yesturday and they said about a month or so and i know for the predator it dinos about the same and in some cases more than other pipes

Those look sweeeeeeet, but how do they compare to Sparks, HMf, etc?

All of LTE exhaust are dual

They are designing a single setup for the 450R.

The system on the YFZ is dual.....I don't see why they'd pull a 180 and make a single for the 450r.

Oops, I guess I didn't really state things correctly. On the 450R they are working on both a dual setup, and a single. They are going to see how a single is responded to.

i get 7 average and 11 peak gain on the preddy. the real difference between a sparks and an LTE is the LTE uncorks the torque way more.

How can you honestly compare Sparks slip on exhaust to a full exhuast from LTE?

[sparky450AR]

I wouldnt even consider the exhaust....there numbers are nothing to jump up and down about....

they are TWICE the WEIGHT of every other pipe

And thats just more stuff to break.

[PEPwalshZ440]

LTE exhaust is a joke. Plus they make dual exhaust for a z400 and for a yfz :rolleyes: that's just tons of extra weight that does absolutely nothing for your performance. just my $.02

i dont know about the lte being a joke , ive been hearing some good things about them and i would consider purchaseing one after hearing how they perform dont be so biased just because you run something different unless youve owned one had problems with them

Its not bias, its logic. LTE even said themselves the 400 only added 2-3 horse.

And it is twice the pipe, so it would be twice the weight. They are all looks. And they do look good!

duel exhaust on a single cylinder engine, something sounds wrong with the whole idea LOL:huh

Yep, there probably not enough backpressure.

Well then, let's just line it up against that Big Gun and see what comes of it!!:devil: These pipes really do unleash the torque. I wouldn't go back for nuttin'!!:cool:

[Goat397]

there ya go ,and your coming from a sparks exuast correct ?

We will line up, my stickers say 400ex, but its not a 400:devil:


All pipes, unleash the torque. You just have an extra uneeded pipe on your bike, that i dont have.

The new design is now putting out more power gain. The power increase is noticable. The power gains stated are a peak vs peak gain. Randy could get creative on his hp readings like other companies do, but he dosen't and won't.

I just dragged a guy with an exaust system that claimed almost 50 hp on the 450R with my bone stock 450R, and he only pulled me by 2 or 3 bike lengths at the start. I also gave him about 70lbs body weight, and he had a smaller front sproket. If that wasn't some company being creative with hp #'s I don't know what is. Don't beleive what most companies give for numbers, and don't judge a pipe by it's looks.

[dn1911]

why in the he!! does everyone get so caught up in dyno numbers and horse power gains! your not going to notice 1 horse or even two. just buy a good pipe from a reputable manufacture based on owner opinion on how it made the bike run and you will probably be perfectly happy

I didnt judge the performance of the pipe by its looks, just the weight.

And if im going to spend 450+ on a system it better flip my switch and make usable power, and not ADD weight over the already heavy stocker.

OK, I didn't mention anything about looks either. I am just going by performance. How much lighter than stock is other exausts systems? Can they provide max power and still be legal in OR? Maybe dB isn't improtant to you, but I prefer a quiet legal anywhere exaust.

How do you know that LTE is heavier than the stock system? The last time I checked, it wasn't. I'm not here to convince you to buy the LTE system, I just want the true facts on the internet.

Yes, coming from an X-6. This kit really opens up a can of whoopazz!! It feels so much stronger throughout vs my Sparks. The X-6 was only strong from mid-top, but still not as strong as these! As far as extra weight, I don't think 4 lbs is gonna kill the performance!:rolleyes: BTW, the head pipes and mid pipes are tapered from the head all the way to the back, therefore backpressure is not an issue!;)

now its starting to make some since
