The general consensus is that an aftermarket S/A won't get you much in the way of performance gain...only weight advantage.
I put off getting an S/A for that reason. When I finally got one, I was surprised to find that the performance increase was quite noticeable. More responsive right off the bottom...and quite a bit 'smoother' in power application. It's not an amazing thing, but noticeable enough.
BTW..I put on a PC primarily due to problems with mounting and mounting hardware (commonly missing) problems with the TC from FmF. I didn't like the tip, lack of tip actually, in the FmF either.
New PC S/As now have the same tip design as the FmF TC does.
And, yeah...it will fit as well as the FmF allows it too.

I choose the FMF strickly on cost...
E-bay purchase that I couldn't turn down..
Even with exchante..US to C-bucks
Aftermarket accessories here in snows-ville are steep to say the least.
I personally do not mind MAKING things fit.Of course bolt-on and go is perfered but hey,,,money talks ..."or lack of it"
Not only do I want to mod one piece at a time to appreciate and realize each addition but,,,noise is a factor aswell.
The KDX in stock form is dead quite. As all will attest.
Although... as I've read through other threads I've seen that the 'FMF Turbine Core II Spark Arrester Silencer' is not overly loud. If fact others report it has a pleasant note....This I like.
Ah spring,,,can it come soon enough. I fear not..rats!!

Yes it should fit. But, the stock silencer is very restrictive. I installed the new Race Cap silencer from PC and it did give the bike a noticable change in power. Definetly in sound (not real loud, but has a nice sound to it). The stock bike doesn't even sound like a 2-stroke. It's kindof in-between a 2 and 4 stroke sound. But, installing ANY aftermarket free-flow muffler will actually give it a good throaty sound along with weight savings and slight notice in power delivery (not much though).
