Looking for a good slip on pipe for my 400 and I am strongly considering a TC Racing slip on for my otherwise stock motor. Do these pipes give good power gains on a stock motor, or should I stick with something like a T-4 or R4 for this motor as I don't plan to mod it other than a pipe and a uni air filter and rejetting.

Any experience or knowledge about this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.:confused:

I have the TC and like it a lot. The Guy I ride with has the full T-4 and I couldn't feel a difference between the 2 and he has a new header! You could also check out the LRD pipe. It's a full system, but priced very well and looks awesome.

The TC is a sweet pipe. I have ridding on a stock 400 with a TC pipe and it had wicked good bottom end. TOp end wasn't any different on top but Bottom was crazy.

Very Loud tho.

I wish he made a Header though. It will look good once I have my Header and Mid-Pipe Hiper Coated. All nice and Ceramic Coated then!

I need your help guys!!!! What color do I powdercoat my cases??? Red with sparkles, Black with Sparkles, or the polished aluminum looking powdercoat(looks pretty similar to the header in the pic above)??? Here is a pic of my bike for reference The only difference in the bike is the air scoops are also PC'd red now too!!
Thanks

Chad get a good shot of the Exhaust when it's all put back together. I want to see how good it looks! I think HPC will coat your Cases! You should have them done if they will, that would look awesome!

Yes they will but to have them coat the cases is a bit steap!!! Not only that, there finish holds heat in, which is a very good thing for an exhaust, but not for the cases!!! Im going to leave here in a few minutes to get the cases coated,,,do you think I should do them in red, or the polished look whick looks similar to my header and midpipe??????? I think I have voted black out because black just doesnt stand out enough to me, but im afraid i might have a little to much red ,,what do you think???

Go with the Polished look. If your Cases are Red you will have to much Red. Plus Polished will be Bling! :D

The only thing is the polished powdercoat doesnt look near as shiny as a good chrome like polish job! It shines but not like true polished alum..My wife says i should go red, i kind of like the polished,,,

It's a Ceramic Coating like the Sparks and other Pipes have. Look on page 1 Chad had his header and TC mid-pipe done.

It's a company that deals with high temp coatings.. www.hpcoatings.com It run me right around $55 to have my powerbong coated,,i should get it on wednesday I'll take some clear pics..cough**chad**cough and post them..:D

Trx400 mine went to Oklahoma and it's about a 10 day turn around i guess,,shipping there cost me $6,,but they'll bust your balls on return shipping so watch it..;)
