Just thought you guys would want to see the new X-6 Racing Sparks exhaust. I will do a full review of the exhaust this weekend. I will say it was harder to install than the Barkers, but not by much. Sparks will send you a free pc3 or pc5 map with purchase, i asked about the Dobeck and they laughed and said sorry lol. The sound clip can be found here.

Looks great, I cant wait to hear how well it performs.

 

[ziggy]

why did you switch to this one?

 

[boost addict]

I didn't switch the exhaust. I own 2 700xx, the all black one in my sig has the Barkers and the Red & Black has the Sparks.

looks like the flange is thicker that way it wont bend, the barkers looks thinner, my barkers is bent. that looks like a real good quality exhaust, also it looks like you dont have to drill out rivets to repack it either. sparks builds some fast honda engines too. nice i like it.

You can't see it, but there is no springs that hold the exhaust together. The screws to repack the exhaust is what i like alot. Believe it or not the Sparks is quieter also.

Jody, Looks nice can you get different tips for it?

 

[boost addict]

Hayden.. They sell different tips for it. Barker claims 103db and Sparks claims 101db. I have a open Barkers and the biggest tip for the Sparks. The Barkers is louder than the Sparks. I want to see the #s between the two lol.

Another thing you pointed out, is the Sparkes comes with 2 longer 450r exhaust head studs, that's how they made the flange thicker:hey: And also requires no exhaust gasket lol.

Boost what do you plan on doing with your second xx? You plan on one trail bike, one dunner? I know if I had your first set up I'd be happy.

 

[boost addict]

Yup.. The one in my sig is my trail quad. The R&B is going to be my Drag & Dunner quad, it should be real close to 70rwhp when it's done.

 

[700xxmaniac]

i wonder why it took them so long to put it up on there web site.. that pipe has been out for over a year now just hasnt been seen much

 

[boost addict]

Sparks has had the exhaust on the site for along while now. I always heard it was so loud, which now i know is bs. I don't think any exhaust is louder than the Barker at 8000rpm lol.

You might want to throw a washer on the top silencer mounting bolt. That looks a lot like the old Cobra mounting system and I have had those where the bolt pulled through the aluminum after a year or two of use. Thought it might save you some trouble down the road. That does look sweet.

Good Looking System Both Nice Ride's.:yay:

Thanks for pointing that out, I put some dielectric grease on the bolt with a little locktite on the nut, but forgot the washer lol. Thanks guys for the compliments!

So it's now over a year later. Which do you like best?

 

[boost addict]

The Sparks is better quality and a lot easier to service imo :tup:

 

[Dannolibre]

[M_Quick]

Yea be nice, one for drag and one for trails.
