jetting with a supertrap
If you have a DRZ400S the header and can from a DRZ400E is a great upgrade and not much louder. It's also legal (db-wise plus spark arrestor)

I was skeptical of the exhaust and read that a better pipe really provides little value. The first thing I noticed was the 18 pound OEM pipe/exhaust was mega heavy. After installation the bike was louder for sure, but oh such a better sounding bike. I was shocked how well the bike seemed to breath. Performance was outstanding, running highway speed at 8000 feet, long strait gravel roads at 60 mph, slow mud and snow, everything the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route could throw at my bike it ran so well. The bike was lean after pipe installation but no jetting required. Also, I lost the deceleration popping going downhill at elevation that my former exhaust seemed to display. I would not say that my bike is significantly louder but when you twist the happy grip the bike just breathes and roars away. YMMV but I am convinced to now install a better exhaust on my DRZ400.

Also remembered I had an old SuperTrap silencer and center pipe which I had never installed because I heard they were really loud. Now thinking, maybe loud is better than heavy. If I use the aftermarket muffler, what's the recommended jetting change? Over the years I've done all the usual "mini-mods" to the carb and needle that the collective mind of the KLR cyber-world recommends. Thanks. JohnD
