I have been looking at different pipes for a few months now, since the day I got my blaster. I know most people say right bend or Toomey, and those who do recommend FMF they say buy it used. I couldnt afford a right bend and Toomey seems really expensive too especially for a left bend. Since im normally in tight trails and hillclimbs with not much room the gain speed I figured that if I needed a low-mid pipe. The FMF fit the bill. It seems like it could have been pieced together better but the material seems sturdy enough. I have heard about other pipes being thin and this doesnt seem so bad although it is my first aftermarket expansion chamber I have bought for a bike so I have nothing to compare it to. The powerband is right where I want it and there is plent of power there. I bought my pipe new for $193. Got the powercore 2 a couple months ago for $100 new. Both free shipping from Dennis Kirk. If anybody is considering a FMF exhaust I highly recommend it. It may not be the best but its not the most expensive either. Its a great pipe and mine runs amazing with a 280 main jet, needle in the middle and pilot stock. 700 elevation at 75 degrees. The fit and finish is great and it sounds like a motocrosser. Wheelspinning torque through 4th gear (even after i changed my 13-42 gearing back to factory). Its a great pipe! In my opinion worth every penny too, even buying it brand new.I:I
