I'm looking to get into either the FMF or the HPE exhaust system soon.

Just wondering if on this board people have done a GB

TIA

Any kind of group purchase effort needs to be coordinated through one of our sponsors. Thanks.

If one of the sponsors wants to do a group buy for the FMF I would be interested. I really like the quiet core idea.

Just contacted FMF. great helpful lady on the other end of the phone. said that they have done a production run of 5 pipes. 5 more to be produced next couple weeks. 7 are spoken for (directly purchased from FMF). 1 to a distributor.

Quiet core is a baffle on the mid-pipe side of the exhaust, so early reports of a baffle are apparently correct.

Still not sure about the insert in the tip. It was not present in the youtube video, however it was present in Marty's pictures. I forgot to ask her.

Yep-5 pipes per run. I would be willing to participate in a group buy.

Al would be a natural choice as FMF is in Los Angeles area. They seem small and flexible enough for a special production run of however many pipes we would need--especially since they are already SOLD.

Only things that sucks for me is that I have to pay CA sales tax.

I just sent a note to Al at American Sportbike. Looks like there's more than enough interest in the FMF to get a run done. I'd be in.

Depending on the final price, I would also be interested in a group buy on the FMF pipe.

It would also be nice to see some final dyno numbers compared to stock.

Please send all future inquiries on this to Al Lighton at American Sport Bike. If he's interested as predicted, then he'll start a new page for the effort.

Thanks.
