Is this a good setup?

[jackflack44]

On my 2003 KX100 I have a ProCircuit Platinum Pipe with an FMF Shorty Silencer. Is this a good setup?

 

[Patman]

Nope.

 

[jackflack44]

new silencer im guessin?

 

[Patman]

Nope.

Good setup for what? A shorty is way too loud and doesn't have a spark arrestor for woods / trail riding and really doesn't give you much on the track besides noise. KNowing what you actually plan to do with something generally will get you more help.

I want it to be quiet and can suffer performance loss

A stock muffler is probably about as quite as you can get but it's probably more expansive than an aftermarket one so i would look at just getting one with a spark arrestor. I didnt see much on FMF's website for your bike but pro circuit has one http://www.procircuit.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=265&idproduct=30181
I've never had any experience with spark arrestor equipped silencers but they seem to me that they would definitely be quieter than your shorty. But hey, maybe you can find some kid at the local track that bought an aftermarket pipe and would be willing to get rid of his stock one for cheap. Who knows. I don't really know if the aftermarket pipes are quieter than stock or not but it just seems to me that they would be.

Do they sell FMF Q's for minis?

Check out their website and find out. I don't think i saw any but I could be wrong.

My sons '03 RM100 (Made by Kawasaki, same as the KX100) has an FMF Turbine Core 2 with the stock pipe. It would also fit the '03 KX100.

If what you want to know is if manufacturers match components, then no. As long as the pipe sizes at the joint match up the will function together. Most manufacturers sell a variety of pipes and silencers to allow an array of tuning options. Will a Pro Circuit shorty give the same power as an FMF? Maybe, maybe not. Each design is intended to enhance a different area of the power band. The name on the piece is meaningless, it's the consrtuction that matters.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

 

[jackflack44]

Yes, thank you. :cool:

You're welcome. :cool:

Try to word the question a little more specifically, oh wait, I think we've been through this already. :)

 

[jackflack44]

Ha yes. I've taken a mental note. :nod:
