Bahh its a bit slow on here.... Well I purchased the FMF super bomb header cause I'm just itchin for more power. Still undecided about the muffler, are they all pretty much the same? Can I get one of the quiter ones and not lose sufficient power from a louder one?
Ready to purchased exhaust.... Which one???

Well I ended up going with the FMF Q4. Here is my post on the other site...
Monday I finally received all my parts. FMF Q4 Exhaust, FMF PowerBomb Header, Velocity Air intake and HMF Optimizer. The install for all the parts was very simple and straight forward. I seen a few post of the Velocity being hard to install but it was very simple and went right on. The Optimizer didn't take much either you can install it with only removing the seat and plastic shielding. The exhaust only required removal of the small body plastic near were the header and and mid pipe connect. I was surprised to find out you only use RTV sealant when installing the header and muffler together, There is no need for a clamp.
Well on to the before and after results..... HAHA! Its been raining ever since

. I tried to go ride across the street in a a field but you cant even roll the throttle in fourth without breaking loose! Keep in mind this is in a wet field though. Hopefully it'll dry soon to catch traction and feel how much harder it'll pull.
Lastly.... After only ten or fifteen minutes of ride time the dam canister blew a gasket at the rear of it. I had to pull it off and send it back for a exchange. Although I loved the sound of the exhaust I asked them to send me the PowerCore 4 instead if they could. I think the Q4 may have had to much back pressure resulting in the blown gasket.

And the leak after 1 few min of riding, Its seems to be a factory flaw. Was leaking where the two lines run under the shell
