    Hello!
    I have a 2012 Wr300 and I am looking for other silencer/muffler options.
    As of today I run a FMF Gnarly and Leovince silencer combo. I would like to keep the Gnarly, as I like the low-end power it offers paired with my Lectron carb, but I'm not the biggest fan of the Leovince. I mean, it's okay, but it doesn't quite have the looks or sound that I want out of my bike.

    As I understand, most of the exhausts for Wr250-300's and Cr250's should fit interchangeably, but I'm not sure which one to get. I personally like the look of the FMF Powercore/Turbinecore, not the Q-Stealth as much, but no one seem to have any FMF exhausts stocked other than the Q, so I guess they're no longer being produced? The Procircuit 304 also looks nice in my opinion, but as I understand it's not compatible with the Gnarly without modifications.

    In summary, the looks I'm going for is a shorter, more two-stroke-looking muffler if that makes sense, hahah, and the sound I would like is a more snappy, ringdingy sound, compared to the more "round" sound from the Leovince.
    Anyone here have any reccomendations? Pictures are very welcome! Wr300 Censored.JPG

    This what the Q looks like on my 300.

    F696DD56-F5A1-4939-972E-22DF0A43031D.png Cover removed ... pipe was left alone ... 296 bolted right up ... slightly cut back on the smaller dia infeed pipe ... silicone hose to join up the two.. and side cover on the inside has the insulation mat ... it works good and legal around here being forestry approved ... and really not that loud.... just need to maybe find a different colour connection hose ... and better looking hose clamps ... : )

    I run Wr125 side number-plates, as seen in my original post, so the exhaust is more visible than with the stock number-plates, really cleans up the rear of the bike in my opinion. Never really thought about the simple solution of using silicone hosing, my mind went straight to custom welding, hahah. Might have to take this into consideration. but most of all I would love to get a FMF Powercore or Turbinecore I think but no one seem to want to sell me one out of all the online vendors I've found..

    I can not help much on this topic as I never tried a different pipe on the WR300 2010, I left the stock pipe and silencer on it as I felt it is just working right. Some time ago I opened up the OEM catalytic pipe removing the catlytic element and welding it back up, worked just fine :D Lot's of power everywhere ...

    Cheers.

    Just got this. They used to be known as Fresco (Italian) now BIG one. It's still untested so can't give any feedback yet. I normally run an FMF Gnarly with FMF turbine core, that combo works for me, plenty of everything everywhere!

    Looks great! Excited to hear how it performs!
    I also love my Gnarly and would love to get my hands on a Turbinecore or Powercore to test out. However, I'm pretty sure I've been in contact with almost every retailer that have either muffler listed for sale, but no one actually seem to have them in stock.. So if anyone have one for sale, or know anyone or any business that does, hit me up, hahah.

    That is how I understand it, yes. Fresco were big in the 70's and 80's, then nothing for 20 years, then they came back as BIG one......
