    I have a 2013 txc250 and I am having a hard time finding aftermarket exhaust systems or slip ons for a reasonable price. Procircut has a system but its about $800 and that is ridiculous. I talked to my dealer and they said since mine is the "red head" engine 2010-2012 exhaust will not work. Is the dealer wrong? Will 2010-2012 exhaust fit? I would like to spend under $500.

    I know fmf makes a header and a couple of muffler options for the TXC310R. I would think they would be the same but not positive. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

    Here is a link to the fmf website page for them. http://www.fmfracing.com/Products/BikeAsList/2013_HUSQVARNA_TXC310

    I have a fmf powercore4 on my TE310R and I really like it.

    I couldn't understand why the muffler was so huge and felt that the bike revved too slow and didn't pull very hard, then I read where the 250 and 310 use the same muffler. So before I dropped 800 bucks on an aftermarket exhaust, I decided to try and shorten my stock muffler. I drilled out all of the rivets on both ends and took it apart. Cut 3" off of everything, removed those pesky screens since I only ride MX, and put it all back together. The difference was noticeable as soon as I started it. The engine revs so much quicker, and pulls incredibly harder. The exhaust noise is only slightly louder at wide open throttle, but is still a lot quieter than stock Kawasaki exhausts. And it was free

    I have an 11 black head (250) and a 13 red head (310). The fmf 4.1 from the 11 fits on the 13 no problem.

    I have looked at the stock Txc 310 silencer and have been thinking about cutting mine. Has anyone cut the 310 one yet?

    You can remove the baffle in the middle, but I wouldn't cut it.

    Stock pipes are too big ID with baffle removed. Weld in a smaller core.

    Why is that?

    I believe that because I felt the low end torque wasn't optimal with the baffle removed on my bike. (cut and paste below that explains why better than me)

    I have no hard data to back this up and I could be wrong but I did speak with a reputable dealer here that believes the same.

    What would be interesting is measuring the internal diameter of a few aftermarket slip-ons and compare with stock. Then compare notes on performance. Have you got access to a few slip-ons, telescopic gauges and a set of verniers??

    We cut them down, no huge power gain, lots of noise.

    Why do you need to cut your pipes?
    TC pipes are good straight-through design AND not too large like the TE pipe with baffle removed.
    Send them to me and I'll send you a TE pipe to butcher.

    I bought bikes with lights just to keep the fuzz happy. My TE is now a TxC310 anyway. Braap, it's perfect too... Must be 5 worldwide.

    5 maybe .. I'm actually fudging some slightly on the TCs due to their 5 speed transmissions ... I need at least 1 6speed TXC tranny for a TC :) ... I moved to a place where the fuzz are not quite so important and now carry a flashlight for after-sundown rides instead....

    So whats so great about these $800 pipes if there is nothing in them? What's the tuning secret for building a 4t pipe that is not so loud?

    It's not what's inside, it's what's on the outside that counts. The sticker. :)
