P102 PRODUCT REVIEW I •Almost $900 as tested •High quality materials and craftmanship look as good as they are •Effortless install with intelligent componentry and design •FMF supports numerous off-road racing and riding initiatives so they're easy to support with your money F MF is synonymous with off-road racing and KTM/ Husqvarna's champion- ship-winning efforts, in partic- ular. We've always been a fan of their quieter, Q-series muf- flers and Megabomb headers. The system we chose for our Husqvarna FE 350 test mule is the latest Q4 Hex muffler and Stainless Steel Megabomb header. These components are the workhorses of FMF's exhaust lineup and built of robust stainless-steel (header) and aircraft-grade aluminum (muffler). Keeping this bike quiet is a priority. FMF claims max sound output is 96dB. (We don't need noise to be fast!) This bike has a fairly restrictive emissions system, so, to keep the system fuel- ing properly, an exhaust that aligns more with stock is a wise choice. The Q4 comes with a removeable spark arres- tor (held in by a retainer clip) and quiet insert. We kept both in place for this evaluation. The FMF Muffler and Megabomb headerpipe come right out of the box with everything you need for mounting. HUSQVARNA FMF Q4 MUFFLER
