Yoshimura RS3 full system pipe, 3x3 airbox mod, FRC-MX carb, then go big bore and cams...................

Go to thumertalk as well, they too have a search engine, just like SMJ, that will steer you in the right direction. Thumpertalk also has a dedicated sticky, that goes into a lot of detail, that you will get your answers from. Just go to the Suzuki DRZ forum and it will be at the top.

I would get a pipe. Yoshi RS2 or RS3. I know you opened up the muffler, but you're losing most your power to the restrictive header.

What he said.

see i like the way my stock gutted exhaust sounds more than my buddy's full big gun exhaust... is there a different header i can buy so i can keep that sound?

 

[WRX Boy]

Buy the stock E model head pipe. I have the Big Gun and I to am not fond of the sound, but the Yosh system sounds good as does my buddy's FMF.

What rwhp are you guys getting from a Yoshi pipe + FCR carb? How much more with piston and cam? Thanks!

 

[esmias]

Buy an fcr , best noticable mod even with stock exhaust !

 

[96firepigeon]

that fcr carb... do i want a 39mm? and can it be off of anything? what is stock size and is this going to kill my fuel millage?

 

[Pep]

FCR for sure and I'd also look at playing with the gearing.

 

[WRX Boy]

It is a 39, but you need more than just the carb. There are several stock Suzuki parts you need as well. Look in Thumpertalk store and find the FCR conversion kit for the DRZ. Even if you don't buy it from them, it lists the parts you need. Also, if you decide to go elsewhere for the carb, make sure it is the model with the removable air intake bell so that you can bolt on the correct one. Have alse heard that the older slanted slide model is not as good as the newer upright ones, but not sure why.

I got 3 carbs for less than the price of one on ebay. You get lucky some times, then you may get a shitty one some times. the first carb i screwed up myself. but the second is on my bike and the third is on my dads. they both work great. I also have the full muzzy exhaust and 3x3. it really woke up the bike.

changing the headpipe made a huge difference for me.
