(i get a 20% discount at my local store" so a 300 dollar pipe only costs me 240! anyway some help would be appreciated! i may get the 416 down the road away's!

Get a HMF,,I've read alot of good things about them and the price looks sweet too.

Ya, I will go along with that the HMF is definately a great pipe for the money. My titanium4 isn't any better and was twice the price!

The HMF will be much cheaper. It really increases the low to mid range but doesn't do a whole lot for the top end. It's the perfect pipe for trail riders, best mod i bought.

The hmf is the best pipe out for the money. I would have to say that it would work great with the 416. You could get the slip on for about 200, then grind the welds out of hte stock headpipe to gain a little more "free" power.

Would grinding the welds on a stock motor and stock pipe hurt it or make it better? Really only mod is aftermarket air filter for now, Many mods comming in about a month and a half when it gets rebuilt tottaly well for most part :D But I wanna grind the welds and motor and exhaust is still stock, holla back :\

griding the welds will open the dia of the pipe allowing the exhaust to flow more reducing the back pressure.

This should do a couple things, increase power some, move the power slightly up in the rpm range and slightly reduce the low end torque, but the seat of the pants feel will vary from quad to quad.

Yeah I really got it for $80 otd!!! Don't think I'll ever see a deal like that again. They retail for like 189.00 I think, that's not his usual price.
