    After watching the footage myself... I definitely think there's an audible difference in the exhaust! Thank you for watching, you ROOOOCK! 🤘

    I love the 400ex so much. Especially 2005 and later when they added reverse. Honda really needs to bring it back. Great videos man!

    That is cleanest sounding 400ex ive ever heard. It sounds so smooth

  • @radarhonda199
    @radarhonda199 3 роки тому +6

    Definitely a good bit peppier than a stock 400, especially considering the stock exhaust still on it...400ex is a great all around sport/trail quad👍

    @nicksaucier9053 3 роки тому

    @michaelsabo I really enjoy the 400ex series videos, I grew up with this particular year model and you were the baddest person on the block if you had a yellow 400ex in the early 2000’s so it’s fun watching someone bring one back to life

  • @tmm4039

    Hey Heads up man! I am a mechanic for ATV's and so on... The valve cover Gasket ALWAYS leaks, it's just a shim for some reason Honda put that in there to act as a spacer rather them a "gasket" it is a problem with these bikes and the XR bikes. once the valve cover bolts are loosened they warp slightly and they never go back to normal shape. he fix for this is either to have both of those parts machined perfectly flat together OR cheap easy and just as reliable is to ""upgrade" a Paper or Composite gasket is the best fix in all honesty what I have learned. I have worked on so many 400EX's and XR 350's and XR400's they all are almost identical. Anyways I have installed many composite style valve cover gaskets. You need to look on eBay for a composite style Gasket it's cheaper and will NOT leak. ALSO keep an eye out for a head gasket to blow it's also VERY VERY common on 400EX's after the head has been removed for some reason the head bolts start pulling the aluminum with in the first 10 to 20 hours of ride time and it's a head ache. Hope you don't have that happen to you but if you do (or What I Would Highly Suggest doing) the GT Thunder Head Stud up Grade and comedic head gasket. Other then that I buy OEM parts through RockyMountain ATV/MC as well. You can pull up a parts Diagram and find anything OEM. www.ebay.com/itm/1996-2014-Honda-Cylinder-Head-Valve-Cover-Gasket-XR400R-TRX400X-TRX400EX-400EX1/174175349076?hash=item288da8e954:g:stUAAOSwnKRdS1Bk

    I had an 01 400 with a 440 big bore kit and pro circuit slip on and man did it rip. It was all blacked out with plastic. It looked and sounded badass. Wish I would have held onto it. Traded it for Tahoe and that guy traded it for quadzilla.

    Mike, Try opening up the factory header pipe by grinding down the welds a bit on the flanges in the cylinder end of the pipe..

    • @rooster1651
      @rooster1651 3 роки тому

      He is right that the factory head pipe is a restriction so if you get a slip on and do what he says it should be like a full exhaust system.

    Love the video skit. The 400 yaks is going to feel like it has more power because the brakes were not stuck. You should’ve fixed the brakes and tested it before you did the mods then after you did the mods.
