KX500 Pipe

(1/2) > >>

gowen:
Hey guys, I'm going to change my pipe that I've got, as it is now dented to heck. I am thinking about trying to ebay a new or in good condition stock exhaust for a KX500. I think I like stock the best, from everything I've read, I think stock is the best for me. I had Eric-Gorr do a top-end port on it, and I really like the bottom end it has too. So, I'm afriad if I go with a Baja pipe it will destroy the low-end and if I go with a Gnarly, it will kill my Top-end, so I'm really enjoying the power that the stocker is giving me. But, I've never used anything else, I don't want to sacrifice the top-end, but I'd rather sacrifice the bottom for the top. I really like stock. But, I don't know. What would you guys recommend? And do any of you'll have a stock pipe that you'd like to sell? My KX was just wreaked and put a pretty sorry dent in the pipe. So, I'm just looking for a decent stocker, unless you guys think otherwise.. Thanks,

Why not a good overall pipe like the FMF Fatty? It's still available for the KX500.

gowen:
I had a Fatty for my YZ250, before I sold it, it did seem to maintain everything except a big more overall.. I'm not sure, or don't know if it just boosts everything, I like the hit, you know, if the fatty is a boost everywhere, (does not calm the hit), I'm all for it, I guess. I'll look into it. Still curious if anybody has a stocker laying handy they'd like to sell. I'd like to have both..

Does anybody or has anybody used the Fatty on the KX500? If so, what gains, loss?

Thanks

Ask the folks @ Eric Gorr's shop?  They will probably know 'the best' pipe to match the work you've had done.

Thats the pipe I have. It's just better, everywhere, than my stock pipe was, the power is stronger and smoother.
