pipes and stuff

[Kx_rider]

well I'm a sled guy, and iv only Had 1 summer on a bike spent almost everyday i could on it. now iv got 250 on the way, But when i look through a aftermarket mag at the pipe's i don't know whats what.. sled stuff i know but Not this.. So what are loud pipes and what aren't?

Which make allot HP and aren't too loud, i don't really wanna go louder then stock because people hate bikes as it is.

would help a lot if we all knew exactly which 250 you had on the way. what are you looking for in a powerband? trails type riding. do you require a spark arrester where you ride? pretty much no matter what the 2 strokes are going to be quieter than almost any newer 4 stroke so just figure out your needs and then your set.

Any spark arrested 2 smoker silencer will be fairly quiet. I have been impressed by the FMF turbine core. Never really heard the PC sparky that I can remember. DO NOT GET A SHORTY if you're concerned with noise. They are very loud. Even a stock, well packed silencer isn't too loud. Especially if you ride with some 4 strokes. Like Jasle said, what you plan on doin with the bike is important in pipe choice.

Guys the bike is 02 Kx250 Im about 4 hours from motocross track. But where I ride the most is a big sand pit. I like to build Step up and table tops etc.

I have an FMF fatty with turbine core on my RMX and I am putting a procircuit on my cr the FMF works great but I hear they are not as good as they used to be. Go to the FMF sight they will tell you what each pipe does. Same with Procircuit.

What is spark arrested ????

Has a system to trap sparks in the exhaust. Many OHV places require them. They are generally quiet, but slightly more restrictive than performance oriented silencers. Most riders won't notice much of a difference in power, however there is generally a large reduction in noise.
