Tomac's FMF Shorty

Edited Date/Time 3/2/2024 9:48am

The FMF Shorty silencer is back! All year I noticed his silencer was longer than last years bike. Just seemed weird because that bike hasn't changed at all. And his finishes have been sub par so far this season. Then at Arlington when they panned to Tomac when he got up I noticed right away the shorty was back. I'm guessing on the break they went back to his '23 settings. It proved to be way better. Now at Daytona they kept it on. And it's significantly shorter than Webb and Coopers silencers. Gonna be an awesome 2nd half of the season!

I thought that pic of Short on the CRF was a two stroke for a brief second 😂

They're short, but they're also duals. 

This is a shorty.

Still looks large diameter wise but wayyy better length wise, nice one.

How did it affect the sound? I'm sure it's no worries in the US, but four strokes are already too damn loud on a tiny island like over here 😂

IMG 1396I bought a 09 crf450 from a guy that used to do work with yosh. This shorty and the header was from shorts bike and I had a titanium reg length from tomac bike. Its had their names and a number etched into the header if I remember correctly. The headers had another piece welded to keep the header from being dented.

Too bad mitch couldn’t just put his guys back on these ‘07-‘08 kawis, probably better than the bikes they’re on now 😁😁😁 these era PC bikes just scream fast!! Wonder why Mitch wouldn’t sell these shorties to the average Joe?

Yup pretty sure that's what they are. If I remember right, Grant said they didn't have sound restrictions for that race so they could run the shortest silencers for the best power.

It's a worry here.... it's just that everyone thinks "I'm not the problem" or "Where I ride it doesn't matter"

But...it does matter.  If most folks were honest with themselves they'd know they aren't using the bike to it's full potential anyway, especially a freakin 450, and we'd all be riding with the quiet inserts in our bikes.

*I'll hop off my soapbox now.
