Nice cool morning here to.
Nothing beats the FMF Fatty and shorty silencer, I will call they guy that bought my 300, borrow it, and steal every dime you got with that bitch. Have you considered jetting it properly, have you considered you are not a good candidate for that exhaust system? They build stuff for all consumers. FMF is one of many amazing companies our sport has, and in my opinion offers the best customer service out there.
Sorry you had a bad experience, or whatever this is about, but come on guy...If you're such a 2-stroke nerd you should know what works and stick with it, don't re-invent the wheel home-slice.
Steel : 7.85gm/cc
Ti : 4.53gm/cc
Alcohol : 0.789gm/cc
Winner = Alcohol, no bling needed.
The Shop
But I will join the rant about buying a ti or carbon silencer that has a steel core, a stainless inlet pipe, stainless end caps, billet aluminum end caps....you get the point. My DSP Ti SX exhaust for my old YZ250F was a bit of a masterpiece when it came out of the box and the thing absolute ripped on the bike. Weighed about three pounds less than the stocker and made 2 plus more hp. Thirty minutes of ride time later, the ti can had disintegrated, just cracked, split and blown all to hell. They replaced it claiming embrittlement due to improper shielding of the weld. Six months later the inner perforated core had rusted and fallen apart. Then the inlet end cap, a conglomeration or billet aluminum and stainless steel suffered a failure.
The Scalvini carbon silencer for my KTM 150 came in about three feet long obviously a euro part with a improperly angled stainless inlet pipe. Cut it down to the shorty length I wanted and tried to bend the inlet pipe as best I could without proper tools to keep the silencer from pointing straight up at the rear fender. Trick piece, but a bit of a shitshow.
I'm sure they'll sell a lot.
Simply put, this makes the product cheaper for FMF to manufacture. On top of that, they market it as a premium product with a premium price, which returns a premium profit. It also lowers the cost of the 4T products because of lower material costs due to increased mass production
No one is forcing you to buy it. Heck, no one is even forcing you to look at it. Instead of being pissed, you should understand that, when all is said and done, FMF is a business. Some people just want to buy cool shit and FMF will sell some.
As for the silencers shown, I would just guess it's standardising parts, cheaper production = higher profit
Thanks for the laughs.
Now, let's look at the Reality of your Igno-Rants:
1. Next time you want to play engineer, get the education and the get your facts straight (the problems with your "facts" were pointed out by the likes of Shane & HillBilly). Apples to Apples and all that.
2. FMF makes options for all you Fly-Guy-Smokers. Choose amongst those options as you see fit.
3. Those HUGE 2T silencers are designed to make your bike REALLY QUIET; and, when making a HUGE SILENCER it's a good idea to try to use LIGHTER MATERIALS to -Compensate- for the "HUGENESS".
4. You should have known...
5. I'm jus' messin' with Ya.
not much in the realm of usable metals that are lighter than aluminum though. only Mg fills that gap.
This thing is not even on my radar, especially when I can get an aluminum silencer that works great or even a carbon silencer from BUD Racing for friggin $120.
Titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel.
Pit Row
Next time you see a guy with a $1,000 exhaust system....just tell him "Thanks"
He's paying for much of the R and D and sponsorship FMF provides to riders/teams.
As long as you can still buy the right part for cheap, I don't have a problem with the $400 silencer.
You are the type of clown that parks next to me at the race and bitches because your bike got dirty in practice
or they back double is to far for your candy ass. Now with that being said, STFU and put some more monster
stickers on your Dodge and have a good day.
Nicely done.
Carbon BRO..... all the cool kids are doing it
I will say, if you arent re-jetting them yes they run worse than stock. However, from my experience, WHEN JETTED PROPERLY, FMF offers WAY more HP than stock. Someone said it may move the HP somewhere else, I can agree with that, but who the hell rides a 250 2-stroke on the bottom end (other than off-road)?
I honestly feel like if youre concerned about new technology fucking up your life than you should stick to buying an OEM priced silencer and pipe for $420.99 and $208.99
We live 5 minutes outside of town on some acreage. 1 four stroke at my track carries VERY CLEARLY into town. The local officer made the comment "yeah, they used to say 'Here comes a dirtbike through town' and I'd tell them 'No it's just Lawrence's track.' " This year we had 3 two strokes riding at once and they certainly make a pitched sound up close but in town.... NOTHING heard.
Felt like I was getting the trickest stuff I could find, at close to half the price. Sort of the two stroke in a nutshell coming off a 450.
Have a read first buddy, he states Ti is not lighter than aluminium...
