SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted January 24, 2021 Pipe looks like a copy of a big gun evo slip-on and header looks factory to me? It has the stock heat shield and everything? Doesnt seem to address the issue of the two pipes coming off the head being different lengths. All the big manufacturers fix that problem and it makes the quad run alot smoother since it is able to move exhaust evenly out of each valve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A&M OFFROAD 52 Posted January 24, 2021 It might be a copy, I don't know enough about exhausts to know. And I need a new header cause my mounting plates are bent like a mofo. Not sure how or why but they are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New copper crush gaskets should be used everytime the header is removed. And the old ones need to be removed aswell. Which most of the time with all the black carbon on them blend in and arent seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A&M OFFROAD 52 Posted January 24, 2021 Yea I didn't know this untill about a week ago and realized that those copper washers were for that. But when I first tore down my engine I could barely get the mounts back on. I had to hammer them on to even get enough threads showing to start the nuts. I need new studs and a new header. But I don't have tons of money either 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't have tons of money either 😂 One piece of advice. Dont buy any aftermarket header unless you buy the full system. Most manufacturers use a different size pipe and the slip-on they sell that bolts to your factory header will not work. I know for sure hmf is like this. Also when i say its a copy doesnt mean its a bad thing. Almost all things sold for the 400ex are a copy of something. Its rare you find a place building something entirely themselves from scratch.

A&M OFFROAD 52 Posted January 24, 2021 Well I might end up buying it from them only because it's so cheap, unless I can find a parts bike somewhere around me. Which I've been waiting to do anyway just to have spare stuff. But they even have a discount code for 8% off and it comes to 275 before shipping but I thought about emailing them and seeing if they would discount it further and I could do an honest review of the product for them since I can't find any reviews 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my 30 year old body doesnt bounce like it did when i was 13 lol. I actually got my oma license last year planned to hit a few races. Nothing ever came of it. Didnt have time and with covid screwing everything up it ended up being a 50 dollar donation. Kinda sucks cuz im figuring that was kinda my last year to make an attempt at racing. I'll just stick to the fair race if the county fairs ever re-open. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A&M OFFROAD 52 Posted January 24, 2021 I just started riding last year and I'm 26 so I don't plan on doing any races, I have a few friends that have been riding since 10 years old and just can whoop me on some trails but I'm still very new and maybe only have 50 hours of actual riding experience. Maybe one day of the fairs open back up and we have one near me I'll try it lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted January 24, 2021 Dont let age or experiance scare you bud! Its all about having fun! Nothing more nothing less. Just know that it is dangerous. And the person next to you may be more willing to hurt themselves or you to win! Some people are wired that way. And you will never know if you are until you try it. I cant honestly explain the feeling i get when ripping around a track. Its so calm and out of control yet still somehow in control. Racing/riding has tried to take my life a few times. But i love it and will never quit riding. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell them your exact engine specs and they will Taylor your carb to your engine perfectly! And not Jets!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
