HMF sport
HMF Ballance series
White Brothers e-series pro-meg
Yoshimura comp

First of all I don't want to hear "dude look at a different post, there are ten about this." Which one would be the best for HP and torque?

If anyone can find reliable dyno charts post 'em (please pipe with an otherwise stock bike)

Any info. on why the ballance series is better than the sport would be apprieciated.

(sparks pipe is too much $$$)

We went with 13 on this system. The WB setup "sounded" quieter than most of the units we tested. In fact, our test riders voted the White Brothers as one of their favorite systems because of its ease of installation, good packaging, softer sound and consistent power supply.
The dyno run backed up those beliefs. This system, using a 142-sized main jet from Dynojet — produced impressive hp gains everywhere in the power curve. Scores big at peak horsepower and when speeds exceed 40 mph. Easily one of the best, along with the Sparks unit. WB also makes its R4 exhaust silencer and a different version of the E-Series exhaust for the 400EX.

http://www.260111.s5.com/30961_pipes_HMF.jpg HMF Engineering: We just discovered this silencer at the Indianapolis Dealer Expo in February. We weren't able to do a seat-of-the-pants feel, but did dyno it.
We inserted a 148 size Dynojet main jet. (This jet is different than the stock 148 jet. It has a different taper and subsequently creates a different way of measuring, etc.) It produced a nice gain on the bottom end for horsepower and torque. On the top end, the gains were quite small.
hope that helps you a little

I have the YOSHI on my 400ex and It is AWESOME. It has power all the way through and is quality made product! I highly recommend it.

HMF gets my vote. When I had mine it was an awsome pipe, and the power was awsome also:cool:

HMF i believe redesigned their pipe, or at least the full system since that test. So it may be a bit different. I just got my HMF a week or so ago, and when i get a chance to ride it, i will post.

Does anyone know or can you find out what the db is for the WB pro-meg full system is. (not sure if the "full system" makes a differnece in the db)

Its legal in the dunes and stuff where there are db limits, but I couldn't get you an exact db number. I do know that the complete system is quieter than the slip-on;)
