$300 to spend on 05 trx450r

[450madman]

I have $300 to spend and I was wondering what you guys suggest for pump gas friendly performance upgrades.
I have the 05 trx 450r with a few mods: HRC kit, velocity air filter.
Is a slip on worth the money, if so which slip on?
Higher comp piston: Wiseco 11.5:1 or JE 12.0:1.
Thanks

a slip on is definatly worth the money. if i was getting one i would get the HMf. there great pipes and not that expensive either. for the piston i would go with the 12-1 but thats gonna run you about 200 dollars.

What is the stock compression?

[MAD450r]

The compression is 10.5:1, the 06-07 its 12:1

[400eXr1d3rZ]

You should be fine with 12:1 compression running on pump. HMF is a good choice also.

What about an Lrd Pro 4 Series slip-on? I can get one new for $239 at my local Honda dealer, it usually sells for $309.

i dont want to steal your thread but if i get a hmf slip on can i get the head pipe later.

Yea but you would have to send it back to HMF when you buy the head pipe to make the silencer fit on the HMF header.

IMO, I think you should find someone selling a used FULL pipe, Should be able to find a good one for $300.

yeah i dought i will ever get a pipe because MR.Safety aka my dad says that it is fast enough and that he hates loud things. plus i would jsut go out and buy one by myself but i am only fourteen and dont have enough money for anything.:(

don't think that it is true that you have to send your pipe back to HMF to make it fit.....i would call them and make sure but i know that it dosen't matter with a yfz slip when you add the hmf header..

[Vade]

I would also look around the parts section for a used pipe

Ive not had personal experience but if you buy a slip-on now and want a header later i dont think you would have to send it back BUT if you are worried about if you do they say an FMF header will match up to any slip-on cause it is the same length and design as a stock header where they mate........like i said dont quote me on that but ive heard that from more than one person

[xtremexcrider2]

i wouldnt waste money on a slip on, if you want to buy a slip on make sure you can get a header later some dont offer that. even with a slip on get a jet kit and a filter, a good investment would be a rev box and a je piston kit

My hmf pipe was a slip on but it was sent back to hmf to make it work with a header. I am pretty sure about it this becuase its what the guy I bought my pipe off of did.
