  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

250-500cc Do I gain anything from any aftermkt pipe for the 300?

Got an 09 300 and was contemplating a pipe. Just the 300's power is so perfect now that I didn't want to mess it up. I kind of would like more mid and top without losing low end. I was thinking about the gnarly but was told you lose top end. Any recommendations?
 
For what it's worth, I put a Gnarly on my 250 and it helped the top a lot and made the mid smoother and easier to ride but keeping the same hard pull in the mid. I thought it was worth it but only did it because I smashed the stock pipe, now I'm glad I did.
 
I agree with troffer88. Ride the shit out of it until it breaks. Then replace it. I have an 09 300 and after I smashed my stock pipe went with the PC system. I love it, but wouldn't spend the change until the stocker is smashed.
as a side note, i didn't care for the gnarly on my yz250 as it killed the top end. Boosted the low and mid awesome, but top end was crap afterwards. So I went with an FMF Fatty, which was sweet. Sounds like it is different on this bike from other peoples posts, but with that in mind, I got a PC...
 
I hear good things about Pro Circuit pipes and silencers. If I was going to PC then I would go with the Platinum 2 pipes. Sort of like a FMF Gnarly. Extra Heavy Duty.
 
I was satisfied with my stock pipe also, bike ran great and had power everywhere but it was the weakest link and needed to be replaced. I now have the FMF gnarly and the bike seems to have more low-mid power, it seems slightly flat on top though. I'm running the stock silencer with no problems also.
 
The Gnarly fits particularly well on the Husky and has a better, cleaner power band than stock. It is a nice package and strangely, better done than the Gnarly is on bikes like the KTM 250/200.

I also run a DEP that works well on the bottom, but pulls harder and longer on top. Not as well sorted a fit as the Gnarly. I drag raced my bud on his 2011 KTM 300XC with a 6spd. We both had one tooth extra on the CS sprocket and I was running the DEP and a Motorsportz Keihin. The Husky gave up nothing to the KTM. We were surprised.

Habitually, the WR300 easy outpull the Katoom... not close on pavement.

My WR is a 250 and it ran right with his 2011 KTM 300!
