Good to hear you are happy with the results. These old timers are the best at helping us get the most out of our wr's. ?

How loud is the YZ Exhaust; vs. stock with the baffle out? I was planning on a White Brother's E2 when they ship for 2005's; never thought about a YZ exhaust.

Is it an entire exhaust system w/header or a slip-on?

I have to disagree here. I'm running a YZ exhaust with a PMB end cap and it is significantly quieter than the stocker without the core. It is definitely not 96db (probably closer to 100). The numbers I've seen show the stock open can at around 103db. And yes the headpipe is the same on YZ/WR.

Is it possible to 'uncork' the '05 pipe on the WR I noticed it looks a lot different than the '04.

'05 pipe has been redesigned and is now at 96db with the restrictor removed.

Ya, the '04 and older pipes are insane uncorked.

Two ways to go (for the moment).

You can drill out the two rivets and pull the plug as shown in www.thumperfaq.com

This keeps it at 96db.

You can remove the entire tailpiece and put the cone back on.... it's louder, but I don't know HOW much louder.

ProMotoBillet is finalizing a replacement tailpiece with a larger opening than the unplugged stocker. Knowing them, it will flow better than the unplugged stock pipe and be just as quiet.
