  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

That's a loaded question and you are going to get tons of opinions on. I did however try the full titanium Akropovic system with the bomb header that sicks up and it was no where near as powerful as my fmf rct w/megabomb. But it had the system muffler on it and not the one that Caiman and Londin use which I'm sure makes all the difference. Akro was prettier. I suggest a bomb type header and a very free flowing silencer.
 
The only answer you'll get is subjective. Unfortunately no one has the coin to buy all the systems and try them out back to back.

IMO, get whatever's easiest to source for a decent price.
 
With a full exhaust and '12 TC airbox, nothing beats a PCV + dyno tune if you can spare the cash. 45T is good for tight/twisty roads or tracks, but heaps of buzz on the highways.
 
Just the lid. The screen is hot glued in and may come loose like mine did. I epoxied it back in place.

I have a smr511 and want some more power, should i go with the PVC or the JD? and how does a 45t go

I went up two teeth on the rear sprocket and it works great. I found the OEM gearing to be a bit high for tight and twisty slow stuff. I think you could go up three on the rear sprocket without having to lengthen the chain.

I have a NIB JD tuner to sell.

I went with the FMF because it was the best price. It also allowed me to keep the OEM header so I could retain the O2 sensor and the nice carbon header guard I went to so much trouble to get. With the EFI tuner, the FMF completely transformed the motor. It is now a firebreathing beast which has no trouble lofting third gear power wheelies. It has a huge fun factor for the money.

IMO the FMF is pretty sexy looking for an inexpensive pipe.
