New tip for my Raptor
 
It was such a pain in the ass to ge the stock spark arrestor out of my bike. I tried WD40 and channel locks at first, heat and vice grips next, heat and a slide hammer and finally a bunch of holes and more hits from the slide hammer. We finally go it out. I bought an ebay tip to replace it and it sounds good. I'll eventually go for a full dual exhaust but I'm saving for a new truck so this works for now.

Stock one in pipe:

I almost bought a 450 but it felt small for my size.

nice quad

whippersnapper02 09-29-2009 12:06 PM

I only went with Yamaha because my buddies own Yamaha and they don't have many problems if any with their bikes. I have heard good things about Suzuki and the others brands though.

When I saw Raptor in the thread title, I thought you had a F-150. I was about to be real jealous. I still am actually. Those things look like a party.

Nice Christian. Have you decided on what truck you are going with next? Taco? Whose truck is in the 3rd pic?

Justin's(84socal on RF) 84 Yota. I'm not sure what I'm getting yet. I'm deciding between a Taco and a Silverado. I have been saving money for 2 months now and I'm going to keep saving money until about December. The problem is that I'm fixing my truck at the same time and it keeps developing new problems.

Oh he went to a darker primer on it?? Big diffs between those trucks...full or mid. 4x4?
