Pipe Shootout - Cast Your Vote

[RMX500]

Over the next three weeks I'll be getting stuff together to conduct a private pipe shootout. I'll test 3 brands on 2 different quads. So I need some feedback on what you all would like to see.

The choices for quads are Predator 500, 400EX, 450R and Raptor 660R, the choices for brands are anything you can name really.

By my own decision I'm making the Predator one of the quads tested and I'm making LTE Dual a brand being tested.

So I need people's votes on the other quad to test, and 2 more brands to shootout.

alright, so far here's what's in for our 2 quads and 3 pipes

I want to see If the LTE Duals outpower the Sparks X6.;)

[RMX500]

we already tested the maxwell house.. it was so hot we burnt out our valves.

anyways here's my decisions thus far.

Predator 500 and Honda 400EX.

For The 400EX I'll be testing the Sparks X-6, LTE Dual, and one other.

For The Predator I'll be testing the LTE Dual, the White Bros. (Pure Polaris) and one other.

[Cripple]

400EX- i wanna see how a full CT exhaust does against the Sparks X-6, adding the LTE dual wouldnt be bad either

Oh, hey guys. I haven't been on here in about a year. Glad to be back!

don't matter what quad,

but for pipe do a cobra exhaust!!!!
I am serious, the funny thing is you will be surprised!

[Goat397]

why the heck are you gunna do a pipe shootout with the 400ex when ther has already been like 5 in magazines and everyone on this site runs these exuasts and know exactly how they perform. use a new machine that youv never seen a shootout on like either of the 450's preferably the honda

[RMX500]

i'm just testing what the people want tested.

how ya gonna pay for it buddy? sounds gay to me..........no way u can just go out and buy like 40 pipes just to test them..

[Cripple]

ya i'd rather see tests on the 450R if its possible, between like LRD, Sparks, ESR, and maybe CT when theres is released

[RMX500]

what the hell do i need 40 pipes for?

I need 6 pipes and I already have both a brand new pred and an EX.

[cals400ex]

it seems some don't care about the shoot out. however, most are very interested in seeing the results of the shootout, including myself. i say go for it. :)

[RMX500]

alright it's been decided

400EX and Predator 500

400EX - Sparks X-6, LTE Dual, HMF full

Predator 500 - LTE Dual, Pro-Circuit w/ powerbomb, HMF full

test date TBD because I have to get the hardware now.

I have the quads already and the LTE systems. Now I just need the other systems and a couple of my race buds as riders.

nice, make sure to post the results. also, what are you going to do with the jetting? run same jetting or dyno it for best power gains?

[Ryan300exRider]

What 400ex pipes are louder than the new style T-4's ???

[RMX500]

i'm going to correct the jetting to get the most out of each pipe. expect the results up before mid june.

[cals400ex]

mid-june??? :eek2:
i was expecting before may 23.


just kidding. :D
i am interested in seeing the results.

[400-416EX]

400ex with a white brothers E2

[Iliketogofast]

Those Maxwell House pipes are the best money buys. I have one on my lawnmower and man, does that sucker run!

[redrocker]

Raptor
Had R4 all top end high rev.
put Yosh. on much better low end
top end still good
out of the 2 I like the Yosh.
both loud but Yosh has quite core
which cuts sound in half but I don't
run it
hope this helps

If you can get your hands on a full system gt thunder exhaust for the 400ex you notice that this pipe with blow all the other pipes out of the water. but if you cant then hmf is the one you should go with. they bought the copyright off of gt thunder and made it slightly different with the step-up in the head pipe slightly closer to the head then the thunder pipe. decreasing top end and bumping up bottom end a touch..
