It appears as if the aftermarket items are all the same. They all add the same amount of bars across to add to your stock settings. Is one exhaust better then the other?

What about tires? You can add three different brands of tires with different tread patterns beyond that. Yet you can customize the sticky/slippery

Does the suspension make any difference between brands?

I was wondering the same exact thing.

I bought a Kenda Southwick tire and saw I could adjust the sticky/slippery setting and I was like what the hell, so I could make a sand tire slippery in sand? Doesn't make all that much sense... I was starting to wonder if the tires make a difference at all.

I'm going to run a Southwick tire in a hard packed SX race and then do the same race with a Budds Creek tire to see if I can tell a difference. I'll post back with some results...

I tested all the tires (Kenda) and they seem to make no difference whatsoever and I also noticed that the "Slippery" and "Sticky" bars are the same across the board for all the tires, so it is basically up to you to adjust it to your liking.

the only part i have found that works better than another is for the 2 stroke 250. the gnarly pipe adds more topend than the others.

That's weird because the gnarly pipe is known for low end. Make sure you test on the same track, I can take a 2 stroke out on some tracks and haul then get on a sandy supercross and barely clear anything.
