Here is the letter and photo that got one of our lucky readers a new exhaust for his Yamaha Raptor 700. He saw the Editor's Note in the Long-Term Haul article on the 2006 Yamaha Raptor 700R in the November 2006 issue of ATV Rider, sent in this letter and photo, and now has a new exhaust.
But there are more pipes available! Yes, WE HAVE MORE EXHAUSTS - for the SUZUKI LT-R450. Check out the exhaust test for the LTR-450 in the new November issue of ATV Rider and send in your letter of why you should get one.

So what are you waiting for? There are free exhausts going out to readers, why aren't you getting one? Check out the letter and photo below to see and example from someone who just got a free full exhaust for his Raptor.
Enclosed is a photo of my 700r Raptor and my girlfriend Kelli. Both are beautiful and lots of fun. With this letter I hope to convince you that I'm worthy of receiving one of your test pipes referred to in your article "long term haul". There may be others less fortunate than me or some with better sob stories. My guess is that anyone who can afford a new raptor can surely swing a couple hundred bucks for a pipe, including myself. That being said, I'd like to at least have your profesional opinion on which pipe would best suit me. We live in western Washington state and enjoy the designated trail and riding areas in our area. We also take every opportunity to hit the sand where Kelli grew up in central oregon. My need for more speed is attributed to keeping up with her dad (700 kaw), older brother (500 predator), and younger bro (450r honda). My delima while not tragic is still disheartening. A week after I got the Raptor we were back at our local dealer picking up Kellis' 250 Suzuki. After a week of looking at those sad eyes there was no way we could go to the sand without a ride for her. Again thank you for your consideration and know that I'll still be reading your mag even if I don't get a pipe.
