most likely the sparks will be the better choice....although i never ran them,im running the yoshi now and i like it,im just saying from what i have read from other people

the CS will be a better pipe. stronger power than the yo yo and a heck of a lot cheaper from what ive seen

yea its deffinitly cheaper. the sparks is prolly what i will get but i had heard that the yosh was better than anything else out for the 250x/300ex and i was just wantin to see what yall thought.

I got the full Yoshi for my 400 and am very happy with it. I got a very good price on it, otherwise I might have gone to something cheaper too.

My Yoshi puts out a mean bark and the power is also there. I have no complaints!:devil:

I tell ya what. The yoshi pipes or of great quality and you never hear of anyones falling apart. The nice thing with the yoshi is with the TEC endcaps you can quiet it down to ride anywhere and it has the USFS spark-arrestor. I was going to go with the sparks on my r but they keep putting off the release of their quiet pipe. I need a pipe that has a USFS sparky and can be made quiet to run at some locations. I had a yoshi on my z and loved it. Today at the local shop they had a yoshi stainless tri-oval in stock( I love the look of the tri-oval , now that you can get it in stainless I can almost afford it) for $450. I'd be hard pressed to get a sparks for this much plus the one I want isn't available yet. Sorry for the rant....... get what you can get the best price on as long as it doesn't have to be quiet. Really you can't go wrong with either one......

hey brif does that TEC kit really make it quieter with the smaller end cap?

I only ran the bigger of the 2 endcaps and yes it made it noticably quieter. I have been told the smallest one, is near stock as far as sound output although I never personnaly tried it. The bigger of the 2 seemed like a happy medium. I hope this helps......
