Tmoney Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Hi, Im thinking of putting a pipe on my quad. Will it take power away or give it more power? I have a Raptor 350 Quote
ltr450rider Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 It will almost always ADD power. It's always best to pair with a jet kit and higher flow air filter if you have a carburated motor. A pipe or slip-on by itself will yield some power gains though. Quote
Chadwick Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Yep if you do it right with the whole kit then you will notice some horse power gains. Not much, maybe 3 to 5 horsepower but it will give you something. Quote
Noozeyeguy Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 The stock silencers are almost always very restricive. High exhaust backpressure means less fresh air/fuel mix in the chamber on each stroke. Changing to an aftermarket pipe helps the exhaust scavenge the spent gases more effectively. More air/fuel = more power. That's why you'll need to rejet when you install a new silencer. Quote
Tmoney Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Okay, what about a Raptor 250, pipe or no pipe? Quote
ltr450rider Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Pipe them all, that's my rule!!! Says the guy with the Charlie Sheen avatar! Quote
White Rhino Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 But he's rite if your looking for more power. Pipe jet and aftermarket filter and maybe lift box lid or after market intake. Quote
