All the different FMF's are good. I always run a quiet core, because I am willing to sacrifice a little power, to keep the sound down. Along with a muffler, venting the airbox lid (I like the EHS Racing lid) and a better air filter (UNI) will be a big help.

I have the PowerCore IV on the 400EX, the Ti 4 on the Z400, and the Factory 4 on the 450R. And, I run the PowerBomb header on all three bikes.

Ya i think all the FMF are good. but i have a white Bros. slipon silencer with no header and that thing is preaty loud so but you can adjust the sound by taking or adding disks.

Can you keep your PowerCore relatively close to the Q at all with that quiet core?

Another thing, with a completely stock EX except for filter, jets and airbox, is a header really worth it?

the header isnt worth the extra $200 rite now, but if you plan on modding your engine at all in the future it is worth it. i made the mistake of not getting the full system and now to get a header it is another $250 because they need to weld on a special adapter to make the header bolt up to my slip on.
