alright guy's i'm looking to buy a slip on pipe, i was wondering which one would give me the most performance for my money. i have been looking at the pro circuit t4, wb e-series, yoshi slip on. When i get the pipe i will order k&n powerup kit and i will be grinding the header pipe or making my own. i dont know about the airbox lid or not yet, what suggestions do u have, what one do u think is the best. If u have any other pipes i should consider let me know. Also i am running 108 octane.

Why are you running 108 octane?? Thats way to much for a stock motor. Do you have motor work done?? If not your wasting a lot of money and probably losing power because of too high octane. From all the engine builder I have talked to ,,,,,other than the engine builders pipes,,,the WB is the best!! I still had a Yoshi at first because they look better and sound better in my opinion.. get you a TC slip on if you dont mind it being loud!!

I bought a HMF slip-on not too long ago and really like it. I also put 4 1" holes in the airbox and snapped in the WB airbox vents. Check out HMF they have really good prices.

WB is definately the best out of those three. But CT makes an even better one though

Marcum's did a test on all 3, the Yoshi came out on top, I love mine. It is a very well built pipe, and sounds great !

Personally, I think they all are good to a point. You need to pick one that fits your budget and likeing. We have several guys with 400ex's in my area and we all are running different pipes. Big Gun, FMF, T-4, R4 and WB e'series. All are good pipes. When you have your motor built it might make a bigger difference. That will depend if the motor was built for low, mid or top end power.
I have a T-4 with the Powerbomb headpipe. I am not saying that is the best but it works for me.
Hope this helps....:D

Engine builders pipes are definately the best. You can get a TC for like $300-320. I highly reccomend it. Warriorman has one too and he likes his.

www.tcracingengines.com. If you order one, Tell him Chad(the guy from TX) sent ya. Maybe he will come down off that price tag on my motor:D

Yes Chad is Right. I like my TC Pipe a lot. Mine was $338 with Shipping. As Chad said, TC is all about Torque. You would like the Pipe is Sound is not a Problem. It`s for Racing. It`s almost Hidden. That would be good if somebody rear ended you. The Pipe wouldn`t get all smashed. Call TC, 814-723-3514.

do u have a picture of the tc pipe?
also, i do most of my riding at my house, and at St. Joe State park the park i'm not worried about but if the tc pipe is to loud then i dont think i should go with it. how does it compare to like the t-4 and the wb e-series on sound?
Dave400ex

I do have a Picture, but I`m not sure how to get the Picture into Email from the Scanner. I`ll Work on it.
The TC Pipe is Very Loud. It`s a Racing Pipe. The White Brothers I have heard are all Quiet. The Pro Circuit is Loud. The TC is Louder then Both though. You would like it.

thanks warriorman, i will prolly go with the TC, i sat down and thought about it, and i dont ride my bike at home or on the road enough to worry about it, so p*ss on my neighbors if they dont like it. :cool:
ChadEXer
03-22-2002, 07:29 AM
If you decide to get that pipe if you dont mind telling him Chad(the guy from TX as Tom calls me) told you to call. maybe he will come off that huge price tag:D
Thanks
MoparTrav
03-22-2002, 08:36 AM
i'll tell him chad sent me!
Dave400ex
03-22-2002, 05:54 PM
Let me Know how you like the Pipe. I think you will be Happy. I don`t Ride at Home much, but when I do, to Bad for my Neighbors. I don`t Care.
Chad, I see How you Are. I told him to go with a TC, and you take all the Credit. LOL. Chad needs to have his Bill Dropped, I`m sure. I need some Parts though.
ChadEXer
03-22-2002, 06:10 PM
Dont let me take your credit now:D Hey Warriorman Im going to send you a PM here in a sec
Thanks MoparTrav

Chad, Now that I think about it, I told You to go with TC. I made TC a lot of Money by Sending you to him. I got the PM.
ChadEXer
03-23-2002, 08:28 AM
Call him and tell him that. I will tell him. Tell him you want something free!!!
Dave400ex
03-23-2002, 04:16 PM
Yeah go ahead and tell him. I want a 425 Piston Kit and Cam.
ChadEXer
03-23-2002, 05:14 PM
Im sure Tom probably wont give nutn away free! Even though he is makin killer $$ over there
Dave400ex
03-23-2002, 05:20 PM
Yeah Tom is not going to give anything away for Free. That would be Nice though.
ChadEXer
03-25-2002, 09:19 AM
I think I just talked another guy into going with TC. You should call him when your ready to get that 425 and tell him you reccommended me and then I have sent him others so he has got a good deal of business off you so you at least want a discount on your motor work!!!!
Dave400ex
03-25-2002, 09:23 AM
What does this Guy want to Buy? I really should tell TC I sent you. He would think I was making it Up I bet. Just think of all the Money I have made this Guy. I told you to go with TC, and now everytime you tell someone to go with TC it all started with me. Yeah I would like a Discount alright.
ChadEXer
03-25-2002, 02:52 PM
He said he wants either the 425 or the 440.
Also I just read where you havent decided if you want a 416 or 425. That is a hard decision. Just get you a TC 440:D
Dave400ex
03-25-2002, 04:54 PM
I think TC will tell me to go with a 425 unless he is Racing. TC said that 440 is for all out Racing. I`m not really sure on the 416 or 425. I know TC will tell me to go with the 425. I will most likely go with that. If he says to go with it, there must be a Reason. I could just get the 505 and be Done with it. LOL.
ChadEXer
03-25-2002, 05:00 PM
505 all the way:D
Warriorman did you get that PM I sent you?? About my new sponsor??
Dave400ex
03-25-2002, 05:27 PM
Yeah Right. A 425 is Big enough. Yeah I got it. I`m going to Reply to it, but I am trying to get all the Post Replies done First. I have about 10 Left.
ChadEXer
03-26-2002, 08:24 AM
I hear that. i usually have quite a few. It kept telling me my box was full so i deleted all of them. it just sent me another email telling me that again though:confused:
Dave400ex
03-26-2002, 08:34 AM
Are you talking about your PM Box? Click on "From The Beginning" at the Top. Now Delete all of them if you haven`t. I just Sent you a PM.
ChadEXer
03-26-2002, 09:00 AM
I did that and it still said it was full:confused: I got your pm so maybe its fixed
Dave400ex
03-26-2002, 09:05 AM
I just Tried to PM you again and it won`t Work. Delete all the Sent and Tracked Stuff too. I Emailed you.
ChadEXer
03-26-2002, 10:28 AM
OK. I will try to delete everything
Dave400ex
03-26-2002, 12:24 PM
I Tried to PM you a little bit ago and it still didn`t Work. I`ll try again in a little bit.
ChadEXer
03-26-2002, 01:14 PM
It should work now. if it dont,,,i give up!!
Warriorman ,,i got another sponsor. Shockers shock covers. They are sending me 2 sets of shock covers free,,1red and 1 black Thats awesome
Dave400ex
03-26-2002, 01:22 PM
I`ll have to Try and PM you to see if it Works. How do you get all these Sponsors? Two Sets? Geez. I need to get me some Sponsors? I thought Outerwears was your Sponsor?
ChadEXer
03-26-2002, 03:21 PM
Outerwears was giving me a w\d level sponsorship. it works out to about 50% off. i still havent ordered shock covers from them because I was waiting on these others companies I requested sponsorship from. I ordered a couple of prefilters from Outerwears though. They were like $5 a piece!!
Dave400ex
03-26-2002, 04:47 PM
Well anything Cheaper from Outerwears would be Nice. You just need to get Elka to Sponsor you.
ChadEXer
03-27-2002, 08:07 AM
I have tried. There not that easy!!!
Dave400ex
03-27-2002, 04:43 PM
Elka is New to Quads so maybe they are not doing to many Sponsorship`s right now. All I know is I want some Elka Shocks.
ChadEXer
03-28-2002, 08:44 AM
i hear ya. they were too much $$ for what i needed. I dont really need the best shocks!!
chad and warrior man. u guys shure as **** convinced me i baught one itll be here tuesday. thanks guys i hope i like it.
Dave400ex
03-28-2002, 06:06 PM
HondaQuadMan, Are you talking about the TC Pipe? You should of told TC Rick Burton`s Son sent you.
Chad, I just got TC another Customer. I need to keep a Tally.
For the Shocks, if you are Drag Racing you don`t need Elka Shocks. I want to have Zero Preload though.
