I would also say DG. I had a Cobra pipe on my 200X and after the install on the frist ride the paint flaked off the thing. Now I am going to be getting a DG pipe because the weld on the hager broke on the Cobra pipe..

I am using a DG on my 200x with a supertrapp core that I adapted to it,
It works well because you can change # of disks for different performance
and of course the spark arrester.
My buddy is using the cobra utility on his 185s and It seems fine, sounds great and did make a very small difference in performance, we did have to beef up the retaining bolt that holds the core in place, but for the money
it is great.

If only Mr. ATC was here he could tell you that basically, DG AND COBRA ARE THE SAME......DG's pipes are designed from cobra....someone else knows about this also....dont remember who it is though.

I have a Cobra pipe on a 350X for 15 years and its still in good shape and has been rode hard. yes the paint did burn off, but I painted it with good paint and its not rusted. We run in much mud and rocks so I dont need a sharp painted pipe any who!

I put a obra on anothewr 350X my son owns and its been on for a year, its loud but works great.
