EDIT: This turned out to be more of an intro than a question... ;)
Does anyone have one? I love the look of the dual exhaust.

I'm away on business (and have been since October, I won't be home intil June) and when I get back, I'll have a pretty substantial amount of money I can safely spend. However, if I spend $700.00+ on an exhaust, it had better well do something.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about my quad, so no point in asking me what's in it already, lol. I bought it last June for $1400 I think, so I wasn't expecting much of a looker. This was the ad I found on craigslist:
2001 honda 400ex with a big bore 440 kit. 11-1 compression ration stage 2 hot cams ported exhaust and intake carb was a little ported. replace valves and springs upgraded head bolts. white bros cdi box full curtis sparks pipe. plus 2 steering column and tag handel bars. almost brand new klaw front tires on 190 douglas rims and razrs on the back the bike runs mint and is fast and will defently keep up with new 450s. the bike is sold as is.
Well, it definately didn't run mint. I asked the guy when I picked it up if it leaked, he said no, it's near perfect. It was essentially spewing oil out the top of the head, the gaskets were totally shot, and supposedly I was losing close to 80% of my compression (so the shop said...) Well it took about 2 1/2 months in the shop and $2300 to get it up to par again. I got to ride it a whopping 3 times in the months before I left for work, so I don't know much about it... but I can't wait to get back to it. Here she is... not the best looking out there, but shes mine... (btw, if anyone else notices anything non-stock about it, feel free to point it out :) )

Anyway, I like the way this exhaust looks, and I'm wondering what kind of power increase this has. I do mostly trail riding, barely touch tracks.
