I have the WB pro mega full system, it came with a wb powerfilter. I noticed great gains in power mid to top end. Sounds great. Got it for $420 from rockymountainatv.com.

My friend has one, there is a big differance. It is also suppose to be a lot quieter then the LRD... Good luck finding a pipe.

Thanks for the info. If you like your whitebro pipe why do you want to sell it. Also does the pipe ever hit the rear brake. Is there two mounting brakets on the pipe.

i like mine. i think there's only one mounting bracket. it makes a pretty noticible difference in power over stock w/ an air filter. its loud enough that it sounds good, but not too loud if you know what i mean. good thing is that its tuneable in case you do more motor work later on you can add/remove discs or whatever. don't think it'll hit the back brake or at least i never noticed it, but i don't jump all that much either. got it from c&d racing off this site and it only took about a week and the price was really good too. talk to dusty there.

I got a wb earlier last summer, and I wish I would have gone with the HMF or Sparks. The power is good, but the quality isn't. Mine is also the newer one with the added support brackets and it still cracked. I do ride pretty hard, but you would think that wb would think of this while desiging there pipes. My friend down the road has a wb also, and his cracked.

Here is a pic of the cracks.

Sorry to hear about WB e-series pipe cracking like that. I had one that did that too before they started putting the brackets on the pipe. I would try and give them a call and see if you get a new replacement pipe. I may have just got lucky.

I have an E-series on my 440 now and like it very much. I am using 13 disc's at the present time and it runs very good and is not that loud. I did have a Sparks pipe before and it was very good. I had to get rid of it because of the noise. The WB gave me almost the same power and performance as the Sparks. From all of the test that I have seen the Sparks rates at the top and the E-series is just below it. Mine has the 2 mounting taps and I also put some extra washers to push it away so that the brake calibator would not hit, just incase it did come close. Also, I am still using the stock head pipe with the welds cut out. The Sparks was a full system.
Had a Big Gun full system and lost power with it, it was junk.

I have a 2001 400ex with a white brother's pipe and I really like it too. I recently discovered a crack where the pipe goes into the can. I had the kid down the street weld it up and so far it has held great! Good luck with your decision.;)

If you get the full pro meg system you wouldnt have to worry about that spot b/c its made differently, I have one and its great no problems at all...

Racing XC, I've had my E series welded 6 times in the same two spots. Around the pipe at the silencer, and the mounting bracket on the pipe. Bought a CT Racing silencer, so far so good, and its not as loud.
