Have you gotten any feedback on your question?  I have a 2006 KX250 All stock.  I just picked up a Pro Circuit Works Pipe and R304 Shorty silencer.  I race with it this weekend at Pala Raceway in california so I will see how she feels.

I think that it depends on the type of riding you are doing, hill climbs, track, trails, dunes, exc... Pipes are a great way to tune the power for the type of bike you want. If you give us more info I am sure you will get lots of good knowledge.

If you want to find the pipe that fits you best, check out this shootout that Dirt Rider did.

The 03 engine is totaly differant from the newer generation 05 up engine. I will say that for woods riding the FMF Gnarly works very well. Little more bottom, smoother low to mid transition and maybe a little less top end. This is on a 2007 KX250. Pretty much the same as a 05. Gnarly worked well on my 03 also.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.

I have a fmf gnarly on my 01 kx250. Great for the woods like The Flyin Hawaiian said. I have a fmf sst on the 300, it is much snapper but the 300 has tons of bottom so I didn't want give her what she all ready had. The fmf fatty is somewhere in between. I recommend the gnarly for the woods. It is the thickest there for the most dent resistant. Plus in the woods you can't really ring it out anyways. I hope this is some help, it all depends on the type of riding you want to do.
