I guess better depends on what you're after. I've had both on my current bike. The Q Stealth is huge, and very quiet. It does rob low end power though. It seems like the bike might make more power on top with this muffler, but I wonder if that's because it's so weak down low. The plain old turbine core II is quiet enough to pass sound test at an enduro, and is not in the least obnoxious, though I do REALLY like how quiet the Q Stealth is. If you're after the best low end performance, I'd go with something other than the Stealth. If you're going for quiet, the Stealth is awesome. I did have to lean out my pilot, needle clip, and airscrew with the stealth.

Not to hj this thread but is there any performance gain on a 2010 Ec300 to go to a Power core 2 over the stock turbine core 2?

My 250 had a powercore on it (came with bike) when I got it. I swapped it out for a TC2 and could tell zero difference, maybe a tiny bit of bark gone mid range but it was very hard to tell if there was any change.

Thanks Bob I was wondering how a silencer could make much of a difference.

Well they definitely can.. but I just noticed very little change between the TC2 and PC. I think it's because the TC2 just isn't all that restricting.

Oh I see thanks. I have a friend that is just bugging the crap out of me to change it. He's convinced the TC2 is for street bikes LOL.

Thanks Guys.
i just ordered the EURO model we are getting here in OZ and it comes with the TC2. I wondered why the Nambo and the new 11's get Q stealths. Just wondering why mine gets the TC2 |
