Overall, from sound to performance, how would you rate the LRD full pipe system?

just curious, because i've narrowed this down to one of my top choices..

thanks!

I love my LRD exhaust system. It gave me huge power gains throughout the mid and top end. Its not the loudest pipe but its not the quietest, it has a good rumble sound to it. If I ever have to purchase another exhaust it will be LRD!:blah:

I like the LRD its a sweet pipe but I think the duncan is a close tie with it if not better. Get either of those and you'll be happy

I've had two Lrd pipes on my 400. The Lrd gave good improvements, the problem I had with both is they rotted out! Both broke from rusting inside out at the silencer portion. Lrd's warranty didn't cover either pipe because they were over a year old. Both of these pipes were the older chrome design they made. Maybe they've changed since then. I just won't use them again.

Did you let it sit in water or what?? How did your pipe rust from the inside out???:confused:

the LRD full system is a very nice set up. they have improved the fit and finish and problems that once were have disappeared. i owned the older style chrome finish and it also rusted a bit...but not bad. the biggest complaint i have had personally and also seen posted was the fact that some of the headpipes would be in contact with the frame and the clutch actuating arm & cable. the earlier pipe i had didnt fit fer chit. the second one i had fit better and since i havent owned thier latest pipe i cant comment.

due to the fit and finish issues i had, i switched my 400's to HMF and havent had issues.

i loved my lrd system for my 400ex. i had the newer style ceramic version and it went on well, and performed great. the only complaint i had is how you have to run a special +2" clutch cable in order to have it routed correctly and clear the headers.

i now have a sparks system on my yfz and i don't have a single thing to complain about.

both offer great systems, but if i had to buy one right now for my 400ex i would have to say i would get the sparks because i know its just as good, if not better, and the cable issue with the lrd kind of stinks. needing a special cable could be a problem out at the track on a weekend.
