Saw that. $8000.00 four strokes aren't selling too well right now, so neither are pipes for them. Thankfully, the guys over at FMF like the 2 stroke crowd as well. Now, if they would only make a porky head and a orange downpipe for the KTM144.............Smile

Just as how I found it funny that 2 stroke exhaust doubled in price once 4 strokes and their exhaust systems gained popularity.

Seriously, $300+ for a 2 stroke pipe/silencer? Glad my stock pipe works great with a buddies used shorty silencer.

so you're saying pipe/silencer combos used to be $150? I last had a 2 stroke in '01 and i seem to remember silencers were in the $80-$100 range and pipes around $175?

Yea I wondered the same thing and it really irritates me they jacked up the prices like that. A pipe used to cost 199 now from both big guys FMF and PC they are 299? WHat gives??????? I know they aren't investing anymore R&D dollars into them since 2 stroke developement has stopped .....really don't see a reason for such a drastic price hike when all they have to do is assemble them and not develope them.

If people had any clue as to what those pipes actually cost to produce they would shit.

The next time you neer a pipe and think 3 bills is a lot make your own! Even with the specs it ain`t easy. Never mind all the tooling. If you want cheap, go to PepBoys and buy an electric scooter! FMF is for Fast Mother F_ _ _ _ers!!! Sorry. Old habits are hard to break.....
