Default Anyone have the FMF Q?

Just wondering if anyone is running the new FMF Q muffler. How do you like it and is it significantly less noisy than other fmf mufflers

FMF doesn't make one for a GG.

All i see on the site is the Power core 2 and turbine core 2 silencers. I have the TC II and it works fine. More free flowing than stock with a fairly modest gain in power.

Here is where I found the "Q" listed

http://www.gofasters.com/index.php?m...&cPath=101_105

Is the turbine core 2 louder than the stock one?

A little louder but not by much. It sounds better but not louder than any other 2 stroke 250. It is about the same as my friends stock RM250.

But that's in the "Off-Road Parts for any Bike" list. Not sure about GG. I looked on the FMF site and they don't have it listed. Better to call Gofasters and ask.

I read that a ’99-02 KX FMF Q silencer would fit the GasGas, so I bought one off ebay.

The Q silencer is about as long as the stock GasGas Euro silencer and a few inches longer than the GasGas FMF TC2 silencer.

Fitting the silencer on my ’06 EC300 required the following…

> Trim ~0.2 inches off the end of the stock GasGas pipe.

> Trim ~0.4 inches off the silencer tube where it slides over the pipe.

> Slight trim of the rubber sleeve that fits over the pipe joint.

> Bend the silencer body up a few degrees relative to the silencer pipe to get the mounts to align.

> Bolt into place.

The FMF Q tucks in well and provides adequate tire clearance. It fits pretty well except that the highest point on the silencer just touches the rear fender.

From the riders perspective, I can’t hear a difference in noise level between the FMF Q, the FMF TC2 and the stock GG Euro silencer with the rest of the engine noise.

As a note, the KX FMF Q would not fit on my ’01 XC300 as it had too much interference with the rear fender.
