Well, I went to my local dealer today and got some prices on pipes and here are my options.


#1. White Brothers E Series Slip on ... $212.00

Complete ... $400.00

#2 White Brothers R4 Slip on.............. $200.00

Complete.... $380.00

#3. Pro Curcuit T-4 Slip on..........................$187.00

Complete.....$400.00

I can also get a White Brothers graphics kit and seat cover for 103.00.

a Set of AC Standard Nerf Bars for 130.00

a AC Bumper for 70.00

and 50.00 for a jet kit...

So, what do you guys think??? are these good deals? which pipe should I go with?

The jet kit is a waste of money. I say go with the e-series slip on. I wouldn't go with the full system unless you have some motor work done. The stock headpipe is all you need on a 400 with a basically stock motor.

I agree with AtvMxRider, buy the white bros. slip-on. You don't need a jet kit, just buy the jets you need.

jet kits work better with heavily modded engines.... Kinda like some pipes, the more u give it air the more it performs

you still dont need the kit. yea, you will have to rejet when you get more air commin in or goin out of the motor to get everything ballanced out. all you need to do is go buy the next few sizes up on ur main screw ur pilot out a few turns (it should be on 4 turns out but you can go up to like 10 out so it dont matter) and MAYBE move you needle clip down one slot. it is a waste of money to buy a jet kit cause they give u jets u dont need. they are what...60+ bucks? thats rediculous.

don't believe everything your local dealer tells you (at least about the prices being cost) ;) No flame intended just wanted you to be aware of this.

You need to decide on what exactly you want and then give C&D a pm or call, they are the site sponsor and offer us all discounts on what we buy. They will also help you decide what is best for you. If I were you I would get a Sparks X-4 w/ no motor mods or a X-6 w/ mods. fyi

id get the X-6 if u plan on getting mods later on tho...

I also agree. Jet kit is a waste of money. I really Love my e-series.

those prices seem pretty good

a full system would be better if you can afford it and an engine builders (lrd, sparks, tc, ct, etc.) would be better if you plan on doing engine mods in the future

I got my lrd complete system for $435

imo a jet kit is not worth it, you can save a chunk of money by just buying the jets seperatly

What exactly does a jet kit do... seems pricey for a main jet :confused: :confused: :confused:

what size jets do I need to get?

A jet kits is just a buch of jets half of which you are not going to use. You should go and get a couple main jets and you'll be fine.
