FMF Pipe Quality

Was considering an FMF Fatty for my 02 CR250. I read a lot of complaints on another forum about FMF fit/quality issues. A lot of people said they had much less problems with Pro-Circuit. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Also, for those who may have PC pipe on CR, what does it do for your mid-range?

Loved my PC on my 02 CR, my only prob;em is it bent when some mean kid pushed me down in the sandbox the fit out of the box was good. I felt a little more oomph low to mid, not day and night , but feelable

I have FMF pipes on both my KXs. Both fit fine, no quality problems. I wouldn't hesitate to go with FMF again :thumb:

No probs with my first 2 FMF's but last PC, the end that mates up to the silencer was oval. Not sure if that is PC's fault but it was annoying. No other fitment issues though.

I have an FMF SST on my 2003 CR 250. It is perfect - even using the stock silencer. Also had an FMF on my 02 Honda. The fit is perfect.

I put this on my new bike after a nasty dent in my stock pipe. I felt a big difference. More hit and more power mid on up, but not really any more bottom end.

I've had no problems w/the fit of my FMF pipes, will use again.. I didn't like their spring kit, lost them on the very 1st ride..

I have an fmf fatty on my KX. It fits really nicely, even with the stock silencer, the plating is holding up well too. I would definitely buy again.

I was one of the people complaining. I am not sure it is with all fmf pipes, I believe the jigs get worn out as the bikes become older. Having said that, I will never buy another pipe with fmf on it , especially if it is for the 1997 or 1998 yz 250.

on my 94 yz/wr 250 the gnarly fit well but the fatty I had to take off one screw from the powervalve cover to put on the pipe then try and put the screw back in with the pipe in place. to be fair the the fatty I bought was a factory reject that I bought real cheap , bad plating job so maybe it had other issues also.
