i'm in the process to buy a fmf powercore 4 and i got a question :
Do you need to buy other components when you buy the pipe? i mean... is it better to do this if you want your quad to run well? and did YOU buy other parts?
I really want this pipe.... plz answer me as quick as possible :D
I Have a 05 TRX 400ex and if i get the Power Core 4 FMF do i have to get the pipe also and if not will i get Btter sound and more power with jest the slip on exhaust also i am gonna re jet it
Is your S/A taken out? Have been lookin for a pipe for mine. This is one of the better sounding ones I've heard. What kind or size of jet would you have to use.
@dillon212 yes you should rejet. The bike comes running pretty lean from the factory anyways. Its not too hard. Just set aside an hour or two and go for it.
I'm looking for some exhaust for my 2003 400ex, if anybody knows someone who is selling any post an email adress or something. im not too picky about the brand
how much was the pipe ? i was thinkin bout gettin one from my local honda store 4 $260 dollares is that a good deal ? and how do u re-jett the bike once u purchase the pipe ?
They are on ebay for 250. Rejetting is simple yet time consuming. Im feeling really lazy right now, so im not going to type it all out, but check out the 400ex forum on exriders . c0m / vbb for some more info.
sounds nice! I am debating on geting a hmf or fmf pipe right now. You got any ideas? Also idk if its worth geting a full system or just a slip on? I would appreciate your help. Did you get good gains by puting that hmf pipe on?
i have a trx450r and im sure that it veries but what is the decibal output on the powercore 4 with the spark arrestor in. i looked at fmf's website and they arent the most straight forward
hey nice wheeler, i got the same one except i got red plastics...it has an fmf powercore 4 pipe too...i just tbought it like 2 days ago...the only thing bad about it is the idiot that had it before me painted the exhaust black..but it still sounds good..not so much looks...
hey what other mods do you have on your 400ex? i have an 07 with dg nerf bars, dg front bumper, K&N air filter and i have an FMF powercore 4 thats still in the box because im waiting on my MOOSE jet kit to come in before i install it.
Oh crap, I just deleted your other comment, my bad.
But I bought the ATV already re-jetted. We had to re-jet my old 300ex though. Just went to our local shop and bought the jet size that FMF recommends (on their site). All you do is take off the carb, unscrew the old jet, and put in the new one.
Stage 1 is based more for engines with stock bore and stock compression pistons... Just the normal bolt on stuff like a pipe and air filter. It also is based more towards low and mid range power. Stage 2 works best with mild bores and high compression pistons (most popular seems to be 11:1 compression) and is aimed towards mid-top range performance. Stage 3 is strictly for heavily built engines (usually engines that have been bored and stroked (460+) with a high compression piston...............
continuing my other comment. Stage 3 is almost always goes with very high compression pistons (12.5:1 for example) and is aimed more for top end performance.
For the stage 2 hotcam, I would HIGHLY recommend a high compression piston of atleast 10.5:1 due to the loss of compression with this cam. You do NOT need to bore your cylinder for this cam, although I do recommend it.... I forgot what my other comment said... sorry if I'm repeating.
i feel so much power just in 1st and 2nd gear..my clutch is going out and slipping so i dont get the full power but in hill climbs the tourque is amazing i still can beat guys with other exhaust up hills just not the starightaways. i advise u too buy one there not tht expensive on ebay..
ur bike is sick witht he pro taper bars anf the fmf pc4 ... i have a raptor 250 that i am modding up .. i use it for trails but i cant have it tooo loud but i need power.. the q4 isent for my but i was looking at the 08 fmf pc4 same as u have... is it too loud? or u suggest quiet core.. and if so does the quiet core fit all pc4s?
I dont know what the sound limit is around where you live, but around here it is 96db. With the quiet core in, it is below 96db. Without it i want to say its 99db, but im not sure. You might wanna look into the FMF Q4 pipe. They claim the same power gains, but its alot quieter.
ooh man im not entirely sure... I bought the quad already re-jetted. But from what I hear, you should go out and buy a 150, 153, and 155 main jet. start with the 150. If its lean, pop in the 153, and if its still lean pop in the 155. For the pilot jet, I hear people have had great success with either a 40 or a 42. But remember, different brand jets can and will be slightly different sizes.
ughh.... ive had this same exhausr for about two weeks. i bought it but my dealer charges 100 dollars to re jet. its total bullshit. its good to make a profit but it only takes like an hour and doesnt cost anything to do it for me.. but hey its a buisness..
Why don't you rejet it yourself? Its actually not that hard. Just take out the carb, unscrew a few screws, take out the old jet, put in a new one, put back together, and put it back on the quad. The only problem I see is trying to find the right jet sizes... but with a bit of research, you should have no problem... But $100 for a rejet is completely unreasonable.... I did mine for a total of what... 50 cents?
ya i know its a rip off.. thanks for the info but really i dont want to risk loosing a bolt then searching forever to find another one. i just got back in from putting my new dg nerf bars on. took forever and was a pain in the ass to get the netting through. but worth it in the end.
I love it. If you ride trails, then you will love it too. This is by far one of the best trail bikes ever built. Throw on some +2 or +3 a-arms and a pipe, and then you'll be fine for racing if thats what you are looking into. The 400ex is one of the must easily customizable bikes on the market and parts are really easy to come by. However, if you plan on drag racing in a straight line and have a very very deep wallet, then the 660 is the bike for you.
is it loud enough to get the neighbors mad at you sometimes and is it good performance? I have lots of neighbors and I want to get a 300ex I'm trying to find a good aftermarket pipe thats a little louder than stock (not enough to make the neighbors call the cops) and has good performance. I like loud pipes and good performance but my neighbors hate loud pipes.
We brought it up to the lot behind out house and got kicked out because apparently someone complained. But this was before we got our quiet cores. I haven't tried the quiet cores out, but they should help quite a bit. It is hard to find a quiet yet good performing pipe. And yes, I did notice a good increase in performance too!
All the biggest bore kits, aggressive cams and high comp pistons wont do shit to get you past the stock 68 mph without changing your gearing and raising the rev limiter. :P
