How do you guys like this pipe? Do you recommend it. I'm getting a pro circuit head pipe on my quad and have an HMF slip on.

Also. They you guys know if these pipes come in black?

Man. I really wanna get something black.. Due to my color scheme. I guess I could work with chrome.

I love mine!!!! It sounds awesome and is legal on my trails with 95dB's. It makes good mid and low end power for me with my setup. Steve

How easy are they to keep clean?

They are not bad if you do not use real harsh chemicals that will corrode the aluminum. I just use car soap with no problems with it. Every now and again if I have it off I will use so mag polih on it but it just makes it alittle shinier. Steve

yea I thought about getting some Mother's polish while I have my HMF pipe on. Planning on getting a T-4 though.

The t-4 and the HMF are about equal. I liked mine ok. It was on the loud side though.

I like my quad on the loud side really. I don't mind it at all. I'm just tired of the HMF because the previous owned never put the cleaning work into the pipe so it's starting to get bad.

You already have the header so it will be a really sweet setup. I dont even have the header, i just have a stock one with the welds ground out on both ends. I think it will be just the right sound for you. Steve

I love my T4 s/o. They sound great. they are loud, but a clean/ not annoyingly loud. Mine was brushed aluminum. I polished it up with some elbow grease and mothers and it blings. After every other ride I usually polish it back up to help keep it lookin good. You could always send it to pappy and get it PC'd.

i bought a used one on ebay with the old style endcap, and i love how it sounds. i think the one i got might be for a full system tho; it doesnt fit tightly at the headpipe, and a new factory gasket is too big to fit in the T4.

I think they are the same for either one. Mine fits pretty good. I get alittle gap too. I have a little play at the end depending on how I put it on after messing with it. If it is twisted at all there is a gap but it doesn't really hurt anything on mine since it does not leak out. Steve

Ah i just assumed you did because Suicide Doors is located there. My buddy just bought some bags for the front of his dime here. We put them on and he had them for a week. Took them off and sold them.

i also have the t4 procircuit full exhaust its nice from test results ive seen its better than stock all away through the rpm range. but i bought my bike with that setup on there from all the dyno a tests that ive seen the curtis sparks full exhaust is the best performance up grade for that bike and if u want it for looks i would have 2 say that looney toons dual exhaust looks good if i ever decide to switch it would most likely be one of those.

Not really a big dual exhaust fan on quads. I don't think it looks good at all really.

Nah man but Im bout a 2 hour drive from SD.

Well when I get my quad back we will have to go on a ride sometime. My buddy went to the Navy and my other sold his after I broke my collar bone so I have nobody to ride with.

Its loud,no question about it,but its seems just as loud as my bro's crf250 stock exhaust. Im usually in front so i dont even notice it...he hears it more than me :D

Well depending on how much I have left over once I get my motor back I think you guys have persuaded me into buying a T-4.

If I have a Pro Circuit head pipe, and I buy the slip on exhaust does it mean I how have a full system? Or how would I say it??

Better make sure pro circuit is sending you the can for the full exhaust system. Slip ons usually are not the same as full exhaust cans.

have any of you guys made a shorty out of the t-4 and just added a quiet core to make it quiet again. I am thinking it would look pretty cool short. steve
