Im thinking about buying the Alba Performance Pipe Kit-KFX and i was wondering if anyone allready had it and how it performed and sounded?

You'd be happier with a Yoshi or Pulse Charger, I've had quite a few systems and came to love my Yoshi TRS Pro system. The Alba's are near identical to HMF and my Hmf had a flat bottom end and was 104 db new that failed every Atva race test.

i got a email from alba and they said its 104 db and gives a 8 hp increase with a screaming top end,im intrested in this set up cause its in my price range for everything.

Thats exactly true my Hmf (same pipe) was super strong on top but dead down low but 104 db is agianst ATVA racing regulations as well as most DEC DEP controlled riding areas. But it is a true statement of the system, compared to my Yoshi Trs the top end is the same but bottom on the yoshi is hard hitting, the Pulse Charger on quad I built for someone was not as hard hitting up top but pulled strong and evenly matched mellow but strong power. The Yosh always checks 97-99d depending on the tester and the Pulse Charger is way quite 95-96db.

So if i added this alba set up the low end would be worse then it is stock?

i gotta disagree, i got a hmf and i gained a ton of low end from the full system. alba is a lil bit louder than hmf but ive heard they sound like crap. imo the hmf full system is the best system out there

The Alba was built from HMF specs and no you wont lose any bottom it just wont feel any different. I to thought the HMF was a good pipe, but after building 7 different engine configurations and working with 5 pipe brands in the last 3 years I've come to find out by feel and several dyno pulls the Yoshi and Pulse Charger are the best across the board. Plus failing ATVA tech after driving hours to a national made me think about my pipe choices. The Hmf we had was worth it's price for sure, and the Alba kit (pipe, filter and adapter plate, jetting) is a decent all in one package if sound tech isnt a issue.

The pipe being loud isnt a issue i dont race and were i ride it really dont matter how loud you are,alba told me for 22 bucks they sell a insert that knocks the pipe from 104 down to like 94.

I just seems like a good buy u get the full pipe filter adapter outerwear and a jet kit for like 450,i havent found anywhere else selling a smilier setup for that kinda money.

[400exrider_ed]

Your right as far as having it be a complete kit, and believe me the stuff is the best dollar per power ratio in that kit. And if noise doesnt matter you'll be good, just be aware the insert they talk about will flating the pipe's power down a bit.BTW Alba is also good to their customers they sold a few things to me in the past and always came threw with fast shipping and once sold some used YFZ race parts and took care of a small problem in one by sending us out a new part to replace it.

[42F67N]

I think im gonna order this kit unless someone knows of a better kit for the same money?

Are you getting the stainless steel the black or the carbon fiber pipe?

[42F67N]

Stainless version i guess which ever is the best buy lol
