Need A Pipe?

[redexridr002]

I have a 2000 Honda 400 ex
I put on a high rev box
Hot Cam & Valves
Hinson Clutch
(ITP tires and rims if that helps

Do I need a pipe??

I want one but do i need it??

If so what should i get

[JPhonda]

you dont need one, but if you have a hot cam and valve work done then its going to allow you to get more horsepower out of those mods. also look into a aftermarket air filter

[miller821]

HMF is one of the best to get. Also Curtis Sparks but its a little bit more pricy.

[Ruby Soho]

You dont need one, but it will really let your mods shine. If you do cams and piston etc.. You should pipe (full) your quad and carb too. You need to let the engine breathe. Trust me I know, my 440 has a stock pipe...:mad:

What would the air box do and what kind should i look into i have a new aftermarket filter in now

[BasSTiD]

If i were you, depending on how much $$$ is available, i would get the Yoshimura Full exhaust and a K&N air filter kit. if you can't afford that then just go with the air filter kit for now, and save up your dough for the exhaust.

Only reason i pick the yoshimura is because not only does if give you more HP for your buck, but it doesn't make your quad too loud either. It stays quiet compared to other exhausts i know, i think it's at 96 dB, but i don't remember.

I've got a Yosh full system and granted I pulled the arrestor, but it's much louder than my friends WB & my other friends FMF.
As far as what brand, just stick with a name brand from the top 5 or 6 companies (Yosh, FMF, HMF, Sparks, even White Bros), and you won't be dissapointed.

[BasSTiD]

i still have my arrestor in, around here unless your quiet, people call the cops.

[redexridr002]

That is what kind i would get but i read in Dirt Wheels Don't Get a FMF pipe for a 400 ex??

I would prolly get he Yosh HMF or Sparks

What about Rossier

Pretty sure they don't make Rossier pipes for the ex.

[redexridr002]

Thanks one of my friends has a 660 with a Rossier and have never looked into it

I prolly get a Yosh HMF or Sparks
Is Yosh the best??

A guy I ride with has a Yoshi and he loves it. I have the HMF and I really love it. I can't really tell you what ones better; but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3 you listed.

[procircuit406ex]

I would look in to a Procircuit or Duncan

[swva400ex]

for the $ i would go with hmf great pipe. if you go pro circuit it will cost u for the complete.

[redexridr002]

??
and a K&N air filter w/ outerwears skin

From experience of running the White Brothers and then the HMF, I must say that I have seen much more improved toruqe from HMF. Unless sound control is a must have, I would get the HMF over W.B. any day.

[buster024]

I would get the HMF over W.B. any day.

I would totally agree. My bud has a WB on his R, and imo it doesn't sound great.
Do a search on pipe in this forum. There's a 100 threads on good/bad pipes, and what most people are running.

[redexridr002]

Thanks i have my friend get the white bros to c if i like it

[400ex_rider13]

from what ive heard and seen, top 3 pipes for the ex would be the curtis sparks x6, full hmf, and the full yoshi..you cant go wrong with any of those pipes!!
