[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 572027, member: 23735"] I bought my 01 XR400 with a fancy new white bros e-series on it. The dealer installed it with the full 12 discs and jetted for that at the previous owner's request. Sure looked nice and sounded nice when I test ran it. One decent length ride with 12 discs made my head hurt. I couldn't hear my tire hit puddles. I seriously thought about ear plugs. I started noticing people staring as I idled through the parking lot. Not a happy stare, more of a glare. I thought... adjustable, cool. So I pulled all but the minimum allowed 4 discs. It sounded a little fartier but still hurt my head. Still so loud I was embarrassed to start it up at the trailhead and ashamed to pollute the woods with the noise. After fiddling with jetting for a while to get things to run right with 4 discs I made the decision to return it to stock. Luckily the previous owner kept the stock muffler. I replaced the stock system in 5 minutes and then jetted the carb to stock specs. I even cleaned the air filter and replaced the intake snorkel. I wanted to enjoy the bike in the way that Honda intended. Now I can sneak up on campers and impress the event coordinators with my 86 decibel XR. The bike has much better bottom end torque that stays strong until I am afraid to rev it. Sure the WB pipe made a little more top end but at what cost? Anyone want to buy a slightly used WB e-series muffler? Preferably out of state? Maybe out of the country? Shame on you White Brothers. [/QUOTE]
