thats BS...im not talking about your calculations...im talking about the 20%. not witht eh 400ex...your not going to get a 20% gain.maybe with a cam and a pipe you will.

i think the yosh exhaust is better, and the full system from rockymountianatv.com is a hell of alot less expensive, and you dont have to buy the spark arrestor seperatly...comes with it

HMF full can guarantee 6HP with a full. The slip on is 4HP. They are cheap but the best besides curtis sparks

who r the 2 best all around racing companys out there? Duncan and sparks. they sell the best stuff. im sure lots of ppl are going to say im wrong but its plane to see they r the best. they not going to sell junk. sparks and Duncan throw darts when others shoot shotguns.... if u get that first try u r good. so fatboy and sparks exhaust r the best for racing. end of story =)

krt400ex are you saying 1/2 more than fat boy 4? or 1/2 HP over stock?

over stock. and actually, i think it was slightly more than that. he did a shootout against a WB full system and the hmf slip on actually made more power. ill see if i can dig up the thread

sorry, i got a little confused. the WB full made almost a half a horse over stock, the hmf slip on made slightly more than a horse over stock...and then if you added a properly tuned headpipe i highly doubt you will get more than 3.5 horse over stock...that is still a great gain, but not anything like 20%

HMF slip on adds 4 HP over stock white bros e series slip on is 2HP, yoshimura rs3 slip on is 3HP over stock. The best exhaust you can buy is curtis sparks which is around 5HP. Most companies lie saying 20% or 17% or however much HP. You have to rely on dynos done and at more that 1 place. I have seen 1 place do a dyno and then another place and come up with 2 different results. HMF won the dirtwheels slip on shootout 4 years in a row so far. Plus for $240 you cant beat it.

and it only made 2 hp more in their dyno runs 4 yrs in a row

I dont know about that I have the charts from those issuses and it wasnt the best but close to it. CT Racing & Curtis sparks came out on top with HP gains but HMF was just behind them. For the price to me you cant beat it.
