What should I buy?: Powercore 4 or Q4?

I'm ready to pull the trigger on a pipe for my new WRR. I'm for sure going to go for the Powerbomb header.


What I'm stuck on is the muffler....

Is there a big difference in power between the Q4 and PC4?

I've read that the PC4 is ungodly loud....but....can it be "putted" at a reasonable level through a campground?

I''ll likely be doing BigDawg type adventure riding mostly....with some blasting 'round our local forests and deserts here in California / Western AZ....

Thoughts?

Cheers,

I would just go with the Q4. It gives an nice sound and a little extra juice. Plus, it has a spark arrester and overall will keep you just a little more "legal".

If you're concerned with it being too loud because you'll be around people who might get pissed off, I'd get the Q4. :)

Doesn't the Powercore 4 come with a Spark Arrestor? (I thought I read that it was USFS Approved?)

Thanks for the feedback all!

It may but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it doesn't.

As long as the one you buy is called a Powercore 4 S/A (S/A = Spark Arrestor). :)

Get the Powercore. It's not any louder than those annoying harleys. Spark arrestor is removable.

What are thoughts on the dB Dawg things that you can install?

Would a Powercore with a dB Dawg "plug" be as quiet as a Q4?

Could you almost get the best of both worlds that way? Pop in the plug for stealth, remove it for ballz out power?

Anybody have any experience with the dB Dawg?

Interesting: Leo Vince and DB Dawg

Q4

Just go with the Q4

Don't forget the italics too...

Seems like a lot of wasted effort for nothing....

Thanks for the info all.

Anyone have any real performance numbers between the Q4 and the PC4? Since we are riding 250's, I know a 1-2HP gain is a huge percentage increase for us...

Thanks again for the FB.
