Many won’t admit it but part of the reason for upgrading exhaust is for the bling factor. It’s been proven that in most cases OEM performs just as good if not better than aftermarket. If you are going to put a premium on your product put out a premium product. Sorry calling a spade a spade hurts your feelings, but the quality control is lacking on the parts pictured.
BB57 doesn't appear to be too bothered by it
Man, I've only been in this sport for 30 years, but I guess I've been super lucky to not have one single PC badge fall off a pipe.
"Every one of their welded-on badges" fell off for you, huh? Let's just go ahead and lie to try to make a point.
lol Idk why you are so defensive over this comment, I am just telling you my first hand, most recent experience purchasing one of their products. Also, it was out of stock for MONTHS before that. Anyways, I just think if you are charging top dollar for your product it should fit together when you take it out of the box. I've been using FMF since 2003 lol I have also had PC pipes on a couple two strokes. FMF just seems to have had a drop in quality control in recent years.

FIrst off, I've seen plenty of dirty points on a dirtbike, but never shitty ones. If so, I'd probably handle them the same say as always: spray cleaner and sandpaper.
Secondly: it is a cosmetic issue (to you) on a mid-budget product. If you don't want it, send it back. Billy was fine enough with it to post an Insta and fucking haul ass on it.
It’s on BBs works Husky, so calling it a works part is fair. And the welds are pretty ugly..
Jarvis example.
Sorry bud, I'm not lying. Two 85's and a supermini. Well, one weld on the supermini expansion did hold so I guess one out of three is not bad. I have no issues with the PC craftsmanship and those pipes worked well for right in the middle power which is where my son liked to ride. I've also been in the sport for over 30 years. I've had DG (minis), R&D, FMF, PC and even one of the shitty Cobra systems and I've had pretty good luck out of all of them.
Not hurting my feelings at all. As a business owner I know how shitty it can be for people to talk shit without ever contacting the company about any complaints. This is Vital which means people are going to bitch about anything so if nothing else it is a comical read to say the least.
FMF new QC supervisor? 🤡🤡🤡 Ronnie Mac approved 👍
These boys know how to weld. They look even better in person...
I've had a welded on badge fall off a factory fatty, does that count?
I can post a pic, it's in the trunk of my car, along with another factory fatty that just came back from the pipe repair shop that welded all the cracks for me.
They shouldn’t have to contact the company. The company should have competent QA that would not let garbage product be released into commerce.
I have a full Akra Ti system on my 250F. That thing is a work of art. I questioned my sanity spending $1,200 on an exhaust but no regrets whatsoever.
To be fair, the product in the OP was not released into commerce and for all we know they purposely send the ones with shitty welds to the Extreme guys cause they know they have about a 3-4 day max life span anyway....
Could be. Point is still fair though, shit happens from time to time but standards should exist to protect a companies reputation.
If you called fmf and asked them if their product was a mid budget exhaust, what do you think they would they say?
