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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Gnarly pipe review on 15 te300

I have a small .5cm tall by 6cm wide rectangular hole in my side panel ( up close to seat, running horizontally ). I also cut off most of the supporting ribs on the seat (under side of seat pan). I weight 270 all geared up and I didn't notice any difference in "seat" quality. You can tell where the seat contacts the frame, so leave those sections, everything else, remove it with dremel. I'm on the east coast as well, filters are generally fairly clean.

Thanks and yes I've read through the fmf site but it doesn't really provide any meaningful detail. So I was looking for first hand experience. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yep-no water injection for me thank you! If you're lucky to be in a dry west coast environment, cutting holes in the airbox and adding filters may make sense but not for us on the rainy east coast.

I ride tight gnarly rocky northeast single track from 1st gear to 3rd mostly. Sometimes you open it up on a crossing jeep road or quad trail. The gnarly gave this bikea massive increase in bottom and mid range over stock (and stock was great) but this better. It did clean my jetting up as well. Ride a gear or two higher and your golden
 
read slaven pipe reviews

if you run a fatty and then cut the stock silencer down close to the black clamps, you will pipe up some of the bottom end you lose from the fatty and still have a great top end
 
I rode my first hare scramble yesterday as a Husky owner. I usually ride one of my KTMs. My 15 TE 300 was great with the stock pipe and FMF Turbine Core II silencer/SA. The race had some hard packed short, sharp up hills, and some long pasture straights. I think the Gnarly would have been fine for me as I do short shift and at my age I am not riding wfo across cow pastures, 45 or 50 mph is plenty fast. I felt the bike could have used more grunt in the climbs and tight stuff allowing me use 3rd a little more. That is gear I use with my 300 xcw, which has a Gnarly. But no complaints with the Husky. The suspension was awesome.
 
i purchased the Husky power parts pipe, compared to stock, bottom end slightly weaker, mid range is smoother does not hit as hard in the mid you could say not a strong, upper mid to top end the power parts pipe blows the stock pipe away, make the 300 a little closer to a 250 power delivery wise, for me tight ST its the stock pipe, open trails or on the pipe allot the power parts pipe is great more over rev as well.

so it takes away little on bottom and lower mid and transfer it to upper mid and top end over rev.
i have alway found the stock pipe is great but after the fatt mid hit it tapers off in, with power parts pipe is really keeps going.
 
I plan on going with a FMF Gnarly Pipe and a Turbine Core 2.1 with internal Spark Arrestor. I will also be installing a JD Jet Kit. My bike is a Husqvarna 2017 TX 300....The FMF parts are not available till October 1st...

Question, aside from cost, what is the difference between fmf silencers? Power Core vs. Turbine Core 2, the Q, Q Stealth?

I'm running the Q-stealth with the stock pipe. I didn't keep the stocker on too long but the QS seems like it didn't change the power characteristics of the bike at all. I don't ride MX though - mostly tight trails, enduros and scrambles so guys that use the top end more might have a different view.

It's also marginally quieter than stock, which I like a lot. I really bought it for the spark arrestor, but I'm very happy with it overall.
