HMF, Sparks, or Yoshi

[mrpimpoligist]

I don't no which exhaust i want more. I have narrowed it down between the Carbon Fiber HMF Bill Ballance, the x4 Curtis Sparks, and the Yoshimura RS-3. All of these are full systems. I hurd that the HMF is loud and gives respectable power. The Curtis Sparks is also supossed to be similar. And I hurd that the Yoshimura gives out lots of horsepower however it is not very loud. Which one do you think? Oh and I like to trail ride but i do go to my friends track sometimes.

Do our sport a favor and don't get a loud exhaust for trail riding. The HMF you can get a quiet core for (at least the sport series you can). I'd say the Yoshi. I love the look of the RS-3 can and it sounds pretty nice. I think its like 97 dcbs. (Not positive):cool:

power wise and loudness

1)Curtis Sparks
2)HMF

Curtis Sparks X-6 you won't be disapointed!

x-6 i for big bore and x-4 is for stock bore or things under 416. really you can have a 440 with a stock header and HMF slip on but its not the full potential. If you run stock bore with an X-6 i bet you wont have nearly as much torque. look how much bigger the x-6 is

1 very exspensive

I do. It is close, but doesn't go past it. Here is a little bit of info I have gathered though. Other than looks, the Ballance is the same as the regular HMF Pipe. The only reason I got the Ballance was because It was used and a good deal for the full system. The Ballance also has the Torque Range Modifier, however I was told there is no noticeable difference on the 400ex. The quiet core is available for both the Sport and Ballance pipe as well. However, even with the quiet core it is still kind of loud.
