For Christmas i got a gift certificate to a quad store near me and I am in the market for a new complete exhaust system. I was thinking of the FMF power bomb header and the power core 4 pipe or the WB E-Series. What do you guys think would be the best choice? I ride trails and open fields and i want to go fast but not be overly loud. One last thing, does anyone have any sound clips of these or other pipes on the 400ex? Does a 440ex sound different? Thanks for your comments.

Get the powerbong header and the 4Q muffler. This set up is awesome. Quiet and fast like a stealth fighter jet.

I'm with knighttime on the powerbomb header and power core 4Q silencer as that is what I have and really like it, tougher sound without be overly load and annoying.

I think the FMF setup is the way to go. I`ve heard all kinds of good stuff about the FMF system. Go for it.

My buddies have both ( on 2 seperate 400's ) they both work great, no noticable power difference, but I like the fact that the w/b has built in spark arrestor & was tunable for where you want the power. So if you want a s/a and dont mind a little time adding discs to put the power where you want it get the w/b, if s/a is not a concern or you want bolt on power without having to mess with it get the FMF.

The White Bros Pro-Meg system gets my vote. It was the best pipe tested by GT Thunder on a 440EX.

That is only the slip-on. The WB systems megaphone (before the silencer can/connect to the header) is bigger Hence Pro-Meg.. Megaphone.
