Dual fmf exhaust

Just wondering if there is any rocket science involved in adding the second pipe to a fmf 4.1 system on a 08x4r, or is it basically just cut, shape and weld the pipe onto the other one.

If you're doing it just for looks that's about all it takes. If you're searching for more power or performance just don't do it!

Like I said in other post - its just for looks. Joining the two pipes cant do any harm can it?

Re: Dual fmf exhaust

adding 2 cans will greatly reduce, more than half, the back pressure. so u will lose a lot of power.

Is that an educated guess or do you know this from personal experience?

Re: Dual fmf exhaust

ya they do! if the didnt they would just run no exhaust. the reason the cer250r has 2 is because weight balance, and the pipes on it are very small. and for 2010 they are back to 1 pipe

Don't believe the "weight balancing" marketing bulls**t! It was purely a gimmick and for looks. If it was so great why did Honda already get rid of the dual exhaust?

You're going to lose a great deal of performance with dual exhaust. You asked and we told you, but you don't seem to believe it.

Re: Dual fmf exhaust

yeah the weight balance is garbage youve read to many magazines LOL
but for twin pipes you will want to find ones with a small hole in the back, and you will need them shorter than normal.
i'd say fmf powercore 4 scilencers
