t-4 vs x-6 exhaust

[odog]

i have a procircut t-4 exhaust and i just ordered my curtis sparks x-6 bigcore tuesday.i will do a direct comparison between the two i will also be getting my bike dyno'd soon if i had the money i would dyno it with the procircut pipe then the curtis sparks pipe but the pipe pretty much broke me so i doubt i will be able to do it.

i finally got my pipes today so hopefully sunday i should be able to update u guys i wont be able to get to the dyno until maybe the 18th of this month so i wont be able to give a versus dyno number because i dont think i could hold out for 2 weeks with out putting this x-6 big core on. i spent to much money now im ready to see if it was worth it.

today i put the new exhaust on.
sound test at idle its i tie. the both sound about the same maybe because of the down turn on the tip of the sparks pipe vs just being open on the t-4.
but hitting the gas its no comparsion hands down the sparks just sounds better but it is louder.it is a deep throated sound thats loud vs the t-4 kind of being a weaker loud pitch sound.maybe because of the new carb and the engine work my bike doesnt sound like the rest of the 400s that i ride with any more.next test will be tomorrow when i go riding.

well i have bad news:( now with the extra gain in power from the carb and the exhaust my small slipage that i had in my clutches just got much worse i could not switch pass 3rd gear and the bike was reving to the moon trying to get there. it took every thing i had plus a little bit of pulling to get it to lift up in first. in came up 1 time all day. i had to hold the throttle half way down just to get the bike to roll. so with all the money i just spent on the carb and exhaust. the dyno that i was going to get done in 2 weeks will have to pay for the new clutches and then i probley have to wait a couple of more weeks to get them installed and get an oil change.

have you adjusted the clutch?

[odog]

no. i didnt mess with the clutch. the bike rode good last week all i did was take my stock header and my t-4 pipe off and put the x-6 on. i also noticed that my header melted a little bit of my clutch cable it doesnt seem that bad but i could be wrong because i never got a chance to really ride today it was bad from the jump. could it just be the clutch cable??????????

[TCracin440ex]

the cable could be stretched but adjust the clutch on the right hand side of the motor. easy to do or adjust it on the lever. you have 2 adjustments right there. use them.
