    Hi All,

    I've been looking at getting a fmf gnarly expansion chamber and can find ones that state they will fit 2000 - 2006 or 2009 - 2012.. am I missing something or shouldn't there be any difference between years? as I thought these motors had been the same for years??. While on the subject of exhausts would I be right in thinking that the gnarly is the best route for good bottom end pull?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Best wishes

    Myles

    I believe they are in fact all the same. I've got a 2008 w/Gnarly and Power Core.

    Older one's probably specifically made for the WR250 while the newer one was designed to accommodate both the 250 and 300 motors.

    Thanks guys. I thought that would be the case.. it's odd that it jumps from 2006 to 2009.. Don't they think us 2008 owners want an exhaust!!

    FMF kinda knows huskys but seems to have major gaps in fitment charts. I believe they are all the same.

    racetech is the same way, shows gold valves for some 45mm forks and not others even though they are all the same. It cuz we are "exotic" :)

    I have an older (04) Gnarly that we compared to a 2013 300 and one of the mounts was in a slightly different place.

    I agree, the front mount is off a little. I red rolled the pipe mount to get it to fit.
