Hey all...
I was out of ATV'ing for a couple of years when my kids kind of lost interest. But, they rcently started riding again and so we all just got geared up. I bought a new 08 KFX 450 from a patient of mine who is a kawi/ honda dealer. I gotta say, I LIKE IT!!
My last ATV was an 06 yfz and the KFX put t to shame as far as stock suspension, and ease of riding.
Last week, I added a fuel customs intake and air box, Dyna Tek FI controller, and the topic of this thread, the Phoenix performance full exhaust system. I got it on sale off of Ebay for $271.00 plus 15 for shipping. I am impressed, especially for the price!
It is constructed well, with three steps from the head to the canister. This pipe has a little longer section out of the head than some which is probably driving the peak HP down by a couple percent, but the pipe works great in the woods and on short set up jumps and stuff like that cause the power is right there. It doesn't wait to peak like the CT pipe I had on my yfz. The welding is top notch, and it fit like a glove. All in all a great purchase.
As far as performance, I drag raced the fastest quad around here on sunday. It's a trx 450R with cam, Full sparks pipe, CDI box, and of course needle and jets. He beat me by about 1 bike, but that was on the very top end. All the way through the gears we were just about dead even with him pulling on me just slightly. He would pull away at the top of fifth.
So if any of you were curious, it seems to fit well, run well, and you can't beat the price.
