The "shorty" would be the silencer, the Fatty is the pipe
The shorty silencer is designed to give more bottom end hit and quicker revs on short tracks. I guess it depends on what your needs are. Try it and see....!
It also reminds me of an old kindergarten rhyme; "Fatty and shorty went to bed"..........nevermind! :laugh:
While a shorty silencer will give you more low end power it will also be much louder and Loud Sucks. Look into other ways to increase low end like Carbon Tech low tension reeds or a port job. You can get the engine ported for less or equal to what a new pipe and silencer costs and you may end up still having a place to ride!
You ought to take a look at what happened out here in California on the AMA web site, people complained about the noise and most people cant ride on thier own land and others have severe limitations.
My thanks to Jeremy Mcgrath, the AMA and the parents that showed up to that meeting with their kids to voice the rights of all of us and future riders
my friend picked up a 04' kx125 with a gold series FMF fatty pipe and shorty silencer combo. when it revs up, it doesnt sound loud to the rider, but it carries for a pretty far distance. his bike does have tons of low end power, though.
yea, but the problem is noise, its too, loud, and there are tons of ways to give the bike more low end power besides the shorty pipe. The Q pipe from fmf is quite and adds power. You could throw an eqtra tooth on the back strocket and get more power. Theres more things, but i'm not gunna sit here nd talk about them all day :blah: But try spending money on ways to gain power without gaining noise as well.
That's the second post I've seen by you squawking about how there should be no problem with loud. Pull your head out of the sand and realize sound is a problem for all of us who ride, and it's not just in California. I've seen news from all over the US where our sport is being attacked and locked out of long time riding areas because of idiots like you. Let me guess your the guy that runs straight pipes on that compensator you call as street bike as well? :coocoo:
while noise restriction does tend to limit the bikes capabilities, think of it this way... would you like to ride your loud bike for a short amount of time then get "shut down" due to noise, or instead ride a slightly less powerful quieter bike for a long amount of time. Your decision, but dont come cryin when people start complaining!
