hi folks, i have an 09 ec250 r, that i have just about killed my 2 stock mufflers on....
tried getting them welded, but theyre getting too far gone even for that.
what other mufflers are poeple using?
im looking for somthing thats tough and easy to rebuild/repack when the time comes.....
which fmf muffler do the later bikes run and does anyone know if they fit on a standard front pipe.
thanks.
 
See if you can get the FMF Turbine Core 2. Has worked well for me with minimal spooge and not too loud. Still has a spark arrestor. If not interested in spark arrestor the Power Core 2 is good. The Q Stealth is a big 4 stroke looking spooge trap.
 
Hey Jakobi - don't you think much of the FMF Q Stealth? Are they any better with the spark arrestor pulled out?
Must admit, my bike's still pretty new, however i get heaps of oil dribble down it, with the Q Stealth
 
I've got no experience with the Q stealth. But its big heavy, bulky, and looks like its made for a 4T ;) I'm sure it works fine though.. Your bikes new, and if you're still running the stock jetting it'll be running quite rich off the bottom which will cause heaps of dribble. My 2010 with the TC2 did the same until I changed the needle out for something more appropriate. Usually just get a light oily ring at the end of the pipe these days.
 
My bike has the Turbine Core 2. It was on there when I bought it. I would prefer a little quieter but not enough to switch to the Stealth. The SA is a plus since many legal trails here require one.
 
Cannon Racecraft is a simple, compact silencer, easy to service, and had a noticable power increase over the Stealth.
 
Why the increase in performance? Is the volume of the Q-Stealth too big for the 300 (let alone my 250)?

I may just plop my old FMF Turbine Core 2 to compare. Is the Cannon better than the TC2 ?
 
So, the Cannon gives big-time low grunt and reasonable increases in mid and top over the Q Stealth? Is it better than the Turbine Core 2, as well ?
 
muffler opts.

Rick, I wish I could shed some light for you. I know you have a kick ass '11.
And a lot more options. But the '12 models are limited to Cannon,LV,Scavalli?,
and the q-series... I think that's all... I can say the cannon is a very nice unit. Try Mark @ Go-fasters,he has them in stock. Get the power unit.
Good luck.

Yes, better low end, chugs great. Yes, better mid-range with more hit. Yes, better top-end, revs out like my old CR250R.

Since I'm installing Lectrons and shark fins and such, I took off my Q-Stealth to give it a check at 24 total hours.

The packing looks good, spooge-wise. I'll check it again in 50 hours.
 
Is Cannon done?

Is Cannon still in the business in making mufflers for an ec300? I placed an order for one back in July and have yet to hear/see anything other than promises that one would come.

Sorry for the necro bump...and yes, I'm pretty patient:D
 
They should be. They have two shops one in mid west and west coast.
Also known as House of Horse power.
