Bailor -you're new here aren't you?- first of all, welcome to the forum.

We value your opinion and appreciate your desire to keep this thread and forum operating in an objective manner. That said, we are all human and regretfully pre-disposed to the effects of group dynamics.

Being an objective person, I'm sure you do your homework and weigh all of the facts before expressing your opinion on any particular subject, right? During your study of this forum, did you happen to come across posts from the forum name Iowa_Guy, IowaGuy, Why?, 09KLXowner in addition to the repeated use of the interim name 'why?' while he figures out the next name?

It might be hard to find in some cases, because a great many of his posts were deleted with each time he was banned, but you'll still find some of his material in quoted posts.
Why do you suppose he was banned multiple times by some of the easiest going Admins on the web? Go ahead and say 'I don't care, I just want my muffler info without all the drama.' We won't fault you for it because you have a right to expect that... and we are pretty easy going too.

Just try to realize that there is a history here, and some poeple with pretty long memories...they've watched good, down to earth people with a lot of knowledge leave this forum because they would rather not read demeaning, insulting and condescending posts backed-up by nothing but IG's own emotion and personal preferences.

To his credit, 09, IG or whoever he has morphed into has tempered his act somewhat (from my point of view) as time has passed. Can you ever totally remove the spots from a leopard?...maybe not, and maybe you shouldn't try, but let's hope the latest version of IG can coexist without causing a continued bleed of valuable talent and experience from this forum. It would be nice if he could keep the same name for awhile as well.

Oh yeah, exhaust headers! Sorry man, I got off track. Get what you want, because in the end there really isn't a huge difference in performance. Once you have eliminated that stock, muffler with the soda straw sized outlet, you have already made a vast improvement. I can tell you from experience that I notice more low-end torque from the stock head pipe and more power in the mid-to-top end with my full system that has a much larger diameter header. For tight technical stuff, you might actually prefer the stock unit with a slip-on. I know of guys who are running that set-up right now with the 331 and 315cc big bores here in Japan and they seem to be very happy with the set-up. It all depends upon what you want to optimize your exhaust to do and how much money you have to spend.

In the end, you will have to sort through the chatter and form your own opinion because exhaust sytems are a HIGHLY opinionated subject anywhere you go.

 

Bailor,the fmf header from parts unlimited is $199. I personally like the full fmf system I'm running,it's quiet and noticed a huge difference is ummmmph when i crack the throttle.If your fortunate enough to pick up a full system thats not too bashed up for small $$ grab it, after all they all do the job in the end. My $.02

 

Well I have to admit it is strangely entertaining.... I just won't admit it to anyone.

 

Why? ?
I've never used that username.

 

 

?????

 

You're nuts.............genius....you couldn't figure that out?

What kills me, is people actually think you're knowledgable just because you run your mouth constantly. You put a dented exhaust on your bike and a jet kit... you're the pariah of everything KLX, you just don't know it.

Folks, this is the same guy who said he went a whole MX season on a two stroke without replacing the top end.....huh?

You run your bike on the road mostly, yet you put a 13T countersprocket on your bike, why? Because it's a popular mod that you *thought* you had to do? Certainly you didn't do it because you wanted to run 7K rpm @ 55mph, right? duh.

I don't post here anymore, danmoore has a better site, he's another one that won't come back because of your dumbass.

You are alliterate IG, not illiterate. That's not name calling, it's fact.

You have 0 experience with different exhaust mods, but yet you run your mouth about how Bill is wrong and danmoore is wrong, blah blah blah. Yeah, call any muffle manufacturer and tell them that they just arbitrarily bend their headers wherever they think looks good. Did you ever call FMF and tell them the placement of their powerbomb header is random and doesn't really make a difference yet? Oh yeah, that's right, FMF is wrong, because YOU said so.
Let's see you build a CDI for your KLX.

Tired of your nonsense,
Bob

 

Oh Muffler King the subjects have had enough.

 

Keep it goin' guys. I love the late night entertainment. At someone else's expense of course.
