Just had my dasa pipe installed and the air/fuel tuned by my dealer and the old butt dyno has nothing but good things to say.
Although the pipe is quoted as 100db at 3750RPM (which is the same as the stock pipe with baffle removed) when you open the thing up it really barks. It is LOUD! Sounds really good though, nice and deep. Just watch your leg though. The header pipe sticks out to the side a bit more than the stock one does and my girlfriend burnt her leg on it. As for looks, do I really need to comment??
As for the power, the biggest difference I noticed was the bottom end. The bike has WAY more torque than before. Power-wheelies in 3rd gear are no problem, that's if you can get traction. The mid range and top end are hard to judge from before but the bike definitely feels faster. Like I said, WAY more torque which is the one thing the bike was a bit lacking.
I raced a buddy of mine that has a YZF450 which is piped jetted etc.... The one race I couldn't hook up and he got the jump on me, the second one I hooked up a little better and got the jump on him. It's the first time I drove the yamaha and I'd have to say the thing is pretty quick if not just as fast. Fuel injection is great though, no little blips or nothing...
All in all, the pipe was worth every penny. I can't compare it to the rest of the pipes out there cause I've never even seen another person on an ltr where I ride but with the huge improvements in the bottom end it is well worth it.

I notied you mentioned trouble getting traction...are you running the stock rears?
