Q or Q2?

A friend of mine had a Q on his 400ex. It sounded really bad, but was quiet. He cut part of the tip off, to get more flow. That made it sound worse.

I have a Q2 on my 450. It is a great muffler. Still quiet(never been tested). I would guess 97ish db, with no airbox. The fit and finish are sound, with about a year and half service.

I also have a Q2 on my 450 (480)
I am very pleased with it's performance with the mods I have.
I ride the Oregon dunes so I need to be concerned on the db level.
I have had this pipe for a year.

Hey Moto, be sure to tell them to send the Q-tip with that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Have you looked at the White Bro's E2??

Like I said before, on my EX I had 2 FMF's fall completely apart, which was disappointing because I like FMF.

The WB e series I have has been good, but it did break the weld at the inlet to the pipe. No biggy if you can weld.

Just try not to set yourself on fire. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have 2 E series mufflers, from 40ex's, laying on the floor. They have been welded a total of 4 times. They are so bad, I won't sell them.

The E2 is a different model, though. It might hold together, but won't buy one to find out.

The E2 was not available for my so's 300ex so I went with the full system Q2. 93 or decibels and runs great (after playing with jetting f course). The pipe alone is about 20% larger.
