concerns with FMF turbine core silencer

I'm worried that the blades inside the turbine core may block off some of the flow? Does anyone have any input on this?

concerns with FMF turbine core silencer

I switched from a straight through silencer similar to a fmf power core to a turbine core. It actually felt like it made a little more power.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

That's from the extra back presure that the turbine core provides but with extra back presure comes higher piston temps...not good

concerns with FMF turbine core silencer

I have both the FatBoy 2 Silencer and the FMF Turbine Core 2 silencer. The FMF I bought at a great price, and I had to have it to ride in the state parks. I was really suprised by the difference. I though for sure the FMF would be a performance drop, but it wasn't. Also I have not noticed a change in head and exhaust temps on my EGT guage.
