For a 250F Honda, which pipe is better.. Price not an issue, performance is.

Yosh has great service and a good product. I have never really had to deal with FMF but their stuff is durable. PC man their customer service is so bad...

If I would buy a pipe today, it would be Akrapovic! Also would consider Leo vince and Yosh.

With that said, in my 2 strokes days, I've always preferred FMF over PC because FMF was usually more bottom end and PC more top end. It's not really which one is better but which one suits your style the best.

Its a four stoke, go to the muffler shop and get one bent and it would have the same performance after you put the silencer on it.

Yoshimura. The guys over there are awesome. The duals yosh on the honda 250f are wayy better than the FMF. Pretty noticeable difference.

Jardine is the way to go. Good pipe. Less Sound / More ground.

i commend you for riding that bike as fast as it will go stock, not many folks need more speed and power at the intermediate level.

If price is no object, I suggest you buy both, because they each have their performance strengths.

Bobby, it's for a good friend..

He is silly, he does not want to get a 450, but he races against them almost exclusivly.

He has done very well with a stock bike, but is starting to look for more jam.

MDK sells an FMF system that has a different head pipe design that works excellent on the honda 250f''s. I've been riding big and small honda's for the last 3 years and on the 250 the only other pipe that comes close is Dr.D but his pipe falls off on top.

The stock pipes are pretty good these days with all the sound requirements. You used to be able to get 2hp.. now with aftermarket you get almost 1 if you're lucky.

Get the motor done first... it's cheaper and way better... then just run the stock pipes.

Honda's heads are so cheap... when I sell internationally... customer just buys a new head and has me do them. They're only like $250'ish for a brand new one.

ProMed has it right. MRDs are made to order for you..bottom, top, mid combos to your liking. The customer service and guarantee are top notch. How many pipe companies will fix your pipe for free if you eat shit and smash it up?

x2 Awesome customer service. I ordered the Titanium for my 08 CRF250R and it was on back order. And because my wait was so long they upgraded me to the Carbon free of charge.

Exactly. Head work. Get a cam and high compression piston. All that would probably equal your new pipe with much better performance.
