i got a full review coming on my site soon with pics and all but this is an awesome exhaust got an excellent sound not too loud or quiet but it lets you know there is some bite there, the pipe was built better than any pipe ive had including my sparks x-6 off my 400ex thje detail with the cf is excellent and everyone that has seen it says man that looks like something off a crotch rocket , they cant believe it was for an atv
anyway ive got pics coming, anyone else got it

Yeah, I got it on mine too...never had an exhaust fit so well. It defintely gives it that extra 4-stroke grunt too...love it...here are a few pictures and video of one in action

All I did was cut the HRC section of the stock airbox out, main jet to 180, and sparks filter. I later went to 2-1/4 turns out on my pilot screw.

Are those just stickers on your stock shocks or did yuo really send them to TCS?

I sent them to TCS to get revalved (softer). Since then I've already put Elkas all the way around.

125? seems kinda small with a pipe? you sure its not a 165? I don't think HMF sells anything smaller for the 450r.

I too have the HMF BB pro series and I totally agree that the pipe is awesome.I
don't have the headpipe,just the muffler
because I wanted to retain more bottom end torque.with the pipe and hrc kit my
450 is a whole other beast.I have a 195 jet now,2 1/2 turns on screw and needle in stock location.
