- THIS PIPE MELTED MY FENDER AND LICENSE PLATE HOLDER
Hey guys,
In this video I go over the installation of the FMF powercore 4 on my XT. It is a very lightweight alternative to the stock XT pipe weighing in 6 pounds less than stock. It is significantly louder than stock but really wakes up the bike in the lows and mids.

Hey man, its been a while since i stopped by. Im a big fan of the power core 4s because i love the brap sound it makes. Not too loud, nice and deep rumble. You also get to keep stealth when you want to hooligan!!
Yeah so far I love it! But I'll post a follow up video of what it did to my plastics though.... not good.
did you ever make that video? im curious because im looking into getting one
stoppp hitting wrenches with your hands!! you will regret it later in life my friend! 2017 xt250 owner myself. nice mod brother!
I found that around the slip on section it was leaking just a wee bit. I installed a super heavy duty gear clamp around the slip on and clamped her down tight. No more leak and even sounds better
Hey thanks for the heads up Todd!!!
Hi! I was curious if in fact your rear fender had burned... I hope not. Thanks for taking your own time to make these XT250 videos, it is really appreciated. I am getting my XT in a few weeks. I road bigger bikes in the past, but now I want something forgiving and fun.
Yes it did, I posted another video on it. Thanks for watching brotha!
Yeah it blackened my rear fender I wish the FMF had an extension pipe that also pointed down and away.
You left out the most important part. Did it make a significant difference in performance?
It's a slip on muffler for a sub 20hp bike, no it doesn't do anything significant other than make more noise.
Any problems since you installed the spacer? Anymore fender melt??
Hey I was wondering what would be better to intall the power commander or upgrade the exaust I know the power commander will help out alot with highway speed ect bit the pipe is still really restricted?
What tires are you running on your XT in this video?
Can I ask what nameyour luggage rack system is, and where you got it?
Hey I watch the video is great thank you I do have a question before I install the FMF exhaust do I have to wait the allotted 600 mile engine . will that affect anything or can I install it right away cuz I only have 100 miles on it my XT 250 Yamaha. thank you for your advice in this matter
you know what henry, I'm not too sure if it'll make a difference. I would probably do the proper break in first then start adding aftermarket parts, UNLESS.... you have everything in order to do the exhaust mods properly ie intake, fuel programmer, and pipe.
Is this suitable for xt250x ?
Did it burn your fender?
Sounds great 👍. Are you still running the oem header pipe? I am considering get a titanium one off Webike.
Yeah I’m still running the stock header. It’s tough without a fuel controller to justify any mods into intake or exhaust.
@@NoOnesWatching0_0 I just installed a Beams stainless header this past weekend. I was nervous it wouldn't really fit as its for the Serow/XT250X. But it fit thankfully. I wanted something that will rust less and be more aesthetic with my stainless Delkevic. I know there's no performance boost, but still think its perty to look at 🤩
could you elaborate on this: "THIS PIPE MELTED MY FENDER AND LICENSE PLATE HOLDER" ? How about the high end performance ? How about drone at highway speeds ? I can't stand drone from loud mufflers during long trips. Was it worth it ?
Thanks for the vids !
I'll do a follow up video pretty soon, high end performance suffered, I've lost about 5MPH off the top and from what other riders tell me, my bike is incredibly loud especially when riding behind. But on the bike I don't really notice too much drone. I think it's worth it to increase my presence to other drivers and it sounds awesome!!!
And on the dyno it produces NO appreciable increase in power, noise only.
Do you have info on the Dbs on the FMF compared to the Dbs on the stock pipe
why would you show the measurements and not tell us right?
Hey bro, know it can run a little lean with a new exhaust. Have you installed a programmer yet?
Not yet man, unfortunately money is a little tight but it's on my list of things to do.
@@NoOnesWatching0_0any change in gas milage after the pipe install? have you put a fuel controller on yet?
2 questons. Did it open up the bike? And whats up with that 240Z in the driveway?
+BlackMesaSecurity It did open the bike up, but I think it would do a lot better with a power commander. It's actually a 260z that I've had since highschool, I've put it up for sale to fund the project so it shouldn't be there much longer.

Man, the only thing it opens up is you're wallet !
@@markcollins5026 I've got a DG slip on on my 2019. No melting issues and seems to make a little bit of difference, also did the K&n filter. I have been trying to figure out what tuner to se to richen things up a bit, but that seems like some kind of secret..lol
Does the exhaust pipe heat up a lot?
Does an exhaust get hot? It expells combusted gasses directly from the source of ignition, what the hell do you think?
I just bought one of these before watching you video...and now I'm afraid to install it. Do you have any lessons learned or ideas that could help me prevent melting my fender? I'm seriously debating whether to even keep the thing or return it to Amazon but I could really use the performance enhancement. Anybody have any words of wisdom on this? Thanks in advance!
just add large fender washers to the muffler mount to space it further from the frame
Andrew Carleton , thanks, I did exactly that and it worked great.
Just wanted to mention that I did add this exhaust and I noted a gain of a small amount of low end power. Top speed with 215 lb rider went from 74 to 80 mph. That said, I don’t typically run greater than 65 for any extended period as the bike is just too light and gets blown around a bit much at higher speeds.
@@Paul-wy2wk i was just wondering if you are using a fuel controller with the pipe as well?
Andrew Carleton, no, not needed with just the exhaust. If I replaced the whole system then it would need the remapping.
Really not a good idea with adjusting the jetting. Im re-jetting my XT350 even though it has the stock exhaust
Did you fit the FMF from a 250 on the XT350? Any mods or straight fit?
Has anyone heard of another pipe that I could put on that won't melt my bike?
Chris Caraway check out DG!!!
NoOnesWatching DG? is that a websites? Lol
Thanks for the speedy reply, your videos sold me on the XT250 BTW keep up the good work.
How do you wear a helmet without passing out in the driveway lol
I have to re-calibrate my carborator apparently :(((
Typically carbed motors will need to be rejetted after significant intake or exhaust modifications. I know it sucks, but at least its easy and pretty affordable!
~NoOne
TexasRider90 *Beefy* hey I noticed that you have the carburetor instead of fuel injection but is it the xt250 ? And what did you have to do to get you’re bike to run good with the pipe
Poor design if they melt the rear fender. You’d think they’d test their products. Be simple to just angle the exit away from the plastic fender. I wouldn’t buy one.
