I just bought one for my 99 400 along with a powerbong header, k&n filter and dynojet kit. I love it!! One of the main things that I was concerned with were the sound levels. This is why I went for the Q instead of a White Bros. or Yoshi. It is not much louder than stock but deffinately deeper. I feel a lot of added low end and midrange power with this setup! more than any of my friend's bikes(same setup just different pipes like the pro circuit, and big gun). Also, i have a trailtech speedo and before i was reading 69.6 with my stock motor. now it reads about 71.3! I am really happy and reccommend this to anyone looking for a good power-adding, nice sounding(but quiet) aftermarket pipe!

Get the q-series. It'll still give u the power u r after.

I've got the Q and I like it. True it does stick out a bit with the stock headpipe but that hasn't been an issue for me. The noise level is nothing when compared to a Yoshi. I have owned both and I prefer the quiet ride over the headaches. Both pipes are quality pipes. Either one is a good choice. My theory is "to each their own", its your money, buy what you want.

thanks again...SO the pipe sticks outpast the grabbar to where if i sit it back it will ruin it? And also if i get the powerbomb(which im not planning on) it wont stick out?? THanks

But and aftermarket grab bar will do the trick to fix that problem. I'm though gonna get an aftermarket subframe to fix the problem.:D

I have a Yoshi and its great. You can let it rip when you want or get the tuning kit and the pipe isnt much louder than stock. I heard that it puts out more power too then the Q.

I have the q series on my 400, granted maybe an RS-3 might give more power my buddy and I ride at night and sneak off to some wood near my house so I need quiet, and as far as the grab bar, it even with it, I fell back in the G bar after I got it and it scratched the end a little but no big deal, it a sweet pipe, I noticed a pretty nice difference

i have to re-say my statement., i was not trying to diss the q. i too like to be quiet and i actually think the q is good...i am real dum for getting some of that info from bluetraxx. I have now seen and researched alittle on it and it seems to be an awsome pipe. i am getting a 400 most likely, so i won't have to pipe it because it has enough power for me right now(12 years old. don't diss on me that im young and gettin a mans quad. i want something to have for a long time without goin crazy on mods). but when i do feel the need for a new pipe, then i will decide...but after searchin i think i like the q pipe , so now all opinions are alike:)
