Ive used FMF shortys for a bit more off the bottom. Thats been on CRs though, im sure any FMF will do the trick.

I like the 'Q' series because they are quiet and have a spark arrestor. If you are only racing the shorty's are nice, but loud.

if you put a shorty on with a gnarly you'll just have a ton of bottom end and not much up top. I would deff go with the power core silencer

Im leaning towards a powercore. As the bike already has plenty of bottom...  ;D and i dont really want it to be too much louder.

Do you trail ride or track ride? If you are trail you riding, you don't want it any louder at all. Loud bikes lose riding areas.

Im gunna be using it for track mostly with maybe some trails and open terrain.

I say you'll be good to go with the Power Core then. And Like Scotty said, it will still be quieter than a 4stroke.

The FMF shorty is not loud... (At least it hasn't been on my 06 CR250 or 2010 250SX... sounds stock). Now the PC304 shorties ARE loud, stupid loud actually (they sound like the packing is blown out brand new!), but not the FMF shorties from what I've experienced.

He sat in his chair, reading the discussion.  As he read on, he couldn't help but marvel at what had come to be considered "loud."


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I currently run a stock pipe with a powercore 2 silencer on my 07 yz125. the powercore 2 is very quite compared to the pc 304 i had on it before. Not only is it quieter it has heaps more top end, it did take just a litle bit off the bottom but i dont think it would be a problem with a yz250.

I sound checked a 2009 KTM 300, those things are quiet.  The thing was idling at just over 70db and normal revs were only mid 80s.  The highest it would hit was very low 90s
