Show me your Gnarly Desert
USMC 500:
Make sure you don't dent the pipe if you go down......no amount of cleaning and wd-40 will take out dents. :roll:

I think I definitely need to get the FMF KX5 desert pipe!

I ordered the Desert Gnarly pipe and Powercore silencer yesterday! :-D
I can't wait to swap out the Woods Gnarly and Turbine Core spark arrester.
I've heard that the spark arresters cut the top-end power back a bit too. Anybody had that experience?
It'll be nice to have both setups in case I want to switch back and forth.

Your gonna be really impressed! I'm sure it cuts back a little all I can say is if is a night and day difference. Changes the power output from woahhh! To what am I ridin?! Kinda feels like a 600cc crotch rocket in the dirt. And with that pipe combo I noticed the higher the rpm the more power it puts out. Haven't felt it ever sign off like the woods and turbinecore did. Congrats on the purchase! And hang on

Ok guys, for anyone else still trying to tell the difference between the Desert Gnarly and the Woods Gnarly, here are some more pics of the 2 types of pipes on the same bike.
First is the Woods Gnarly and Turbine Core spark arrester:
Second is the Desert Gnarly and Power Core silencer:
I haven't been able to ride the bike yet to evaluate the change in power, but I'm sure it'll be serious!

Just rode mine this weekend with a new FMF Gnarly Desert, and all I can say is you WILL like it!
