Silencer input

Post by Road Dawg »

Ok I wanna get rid of my factory pipe... I have an after market expansion chamber... What type do you all like best Pro Circuit or FMF?

I know it's a personal choice, but I am not sure which one I want for my 03 KDX220..

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the FMF Turbincore 2 on my '03 220 and it is lightweight and relatively quiet. I've got a buddy that has the Q and it is noticeably quieter at idle but not so much that you can tell in the upper rev ranges. I have a stock pipe and really notice no difference in performance between the FMF and stock silencer except for when the packing needs changing.

Do you need a forestry approved spark arrestor?

No I don't need a forestry approved one. Just a good one. I'm leaning towards the FMF, but Pro Circuit is a very close second.

There's honestly no reason to change it except bling, and that's an expensive piece of bling. If it actually helped performance, I could see making the swap. Sorta like puttin a big old chrome fart can on the back of your civic....

Thanks juliend.. I agree with you to a point. They say it does help slightly with power. Not enough to matter maybe. I just really don't like the look of the factory silencer.. It's kinda blah, but I do appreciate your slant as perhaps I am looking for the "bling" effect rather than anything else. I will re-evaluate it.

Is there an aftermarket "USFS approved" sparky for the FMF models which are not so equipped? An insert kinda deal?

I have a PC that I got brand new on ebay for $40. It feels a lot lighter than stock. I like it, and it is a bit louder than stock, but still much quieter than most the four strokes out there.

Personally, I'd just put a stocker on.
