Big Gun sounds great!
I just put on the Big Gun Race pipe and I really like the overall quality and sound of this system. It's pretty mean sounding and that's what I wanted. I'd guess it's a bit louder than the Evo X series. Still waiting to re-jet the carb so no ride report yet. If your on the fence about getting a new pipe, I say do it cause it sounds awesome. Throw that stocker in the trash where it belongs. The race series was cheaper than the Evo X too, so maybe you can still find one for sale out there.

that thing must be obnoxiously loud then, cuz my evoX is extremely loud with the quiet core in. i personally wouldn't want it any louder, we'd be talking TT decibels, and that's a big no thanks there. those things are deafly loud. i also like my end spout better than the race, but i'm glad you like it. i wouldn't throw your stocker in the trash, never know when you may need it like if you trade your bike in or something. sell it on ebay and get something out of it. ride it and see what a difference it made. it won't hurt to ride it a little. i've put 10 miles on my bike and i haven't rejetted yet. i frankly think my bike runs great with just the pipe, but i know there's so much more to be had with more air and gas. the jets and needle are on their way.

as far as i know, no. you're still spitting the same air/fuel mixture out the exhaust as before. now there's just a faster way for it to get out. taking the airbox lid off or adjusting air/fuel mixture without rejetting may make it rich/lean, but imo, i highly doubt that would even damage the engine. engine oil!

Just how loud is the Big Gun Evo with the arrester and the quiet core? Is it loud at 5000 RPM? I live in a very quiet community if you know what I mean. How loud is it compared to a typical 600 sports bike with a slip on?

a 4cyl sportbike with a pipe obviously has a different sound/more smooth sounding. the klx's thumper sound with the evo is not to loud but just more obnoxious bc of the deeper tone. but i love it! i would feel ok driving anywhere with it. its not loud unless your really accelerating hard.
