Right now I just have the HRC kit and the 185 jet that comes with it. When I get my next paycheck I'm going to get a Sparks full system and from what I've been reading I'm going to pick up a 190 main jet to try with the new pipe.

Is your airbox lid on or off?

I just received my sparks full system also!! I was looking to possibly get the x-factor propeg nerfs (which is the same as the gibson btw) but has anyone found a deal on them anywhere? the best price I have seen is $269.

the X-factor nerfs look great but there is drilling to be done but besides that they mount up great and have a tight fit, also with the sparks system on and 185 main i have the airbox lid off with the sparks filteron and it runs good, when i talked to curtis he siad he had been messin with the needle of somthing but that the 450R didnnt have to have the full jet kit just the main jet

benwa450r did you put Sparks on at the same time as the HRC kit or did you have the HRC kit first? I'm curious how much more power the Sparks system offers over just having the HRC kit. I have the HRC kit but don't want to drop the coin on the Sparks full exhaust unless it is significant.

Thanks

I put the HRC complete kit in at the same time I installed complete Sparks stainless exhaust and Sparks air filter with 190 main jet. Should have tried it before exhaust... but couldn't wait. It now has great low end and all the way up is better. Way more power. The lair filter lid is on... but opened up.

I don't have the HRC kit. I have a full HMF system with the quiet core insert. It was way too loud without it. I am running a stock closed air box with a 150 main jet.
