The Yamaha Raptor 700 is already a formidable machine straight from the factory, but its stock exhaust system is one of the biggest bottlenecks holding back its true potential.

Whether you are a dune jumper, a trail rider, or a weekend racer, choosing the right exhaust can transform the bike's character. Below are five of the best options available, ranging from budget-friendly slip-ons to full race systems.
