Default FMF Powercore 4

Does anyone have the FMF Powercore 4 and do you like it im just looking to put something on my 400ex and reading about the powercore 4 it sounds good they say power though the whole power band from bottom to top end. Please let me know what you guys think or if there is something better.

i have one on my modded 300ex, its a good pipe but its WAY TOO LONG of a silencer! it sticks out past the stock grab bar almost 3in, and 2inches past my extra long grab bar. if you dont do any wheelies you will have no problem, but if you do come back on the grab bar you will need to modify it.

im trying to cut about 3inches off mine, but cant get the damb thing apart! any help about the internals of this pipe would be great!

It does not stick out on the 400EX. The 300EX is shorter, so thus it sticks out a little. I rode a 300EX with one for a dozen years (probably while you were still in diapers)....no big deal! Learn to live with it!!!

Excellent muffler! I would however go with the Q4 if I had it to do over again. Either of these will work best with the PowerBomb Header. You will want to do your airbox/air filter as well, and of course a rejet....

i cracked my headpipe because the exhaust stuck into the ground and pushed the whole pipe forward...sorry i dont want to live with a broken headpipe and too long of a mufflel. just got the money for a new headpipe and wont have it happen again.

fmf powercore is good just LOUD. if you live near a bunch of people id go for the Q4. if your looking for a slip on which is really all you need if you only have minor mods, i like the Lexx for sale on ebay.not to loud but louder than stock, good quality, looks nice and is under 200 bucks shipped. remember to rejet.

I run the Quietcore, but still I would never call it "stealthy".
