This is a great thread. It really explains why my half way worn out 90 KX5 with a Pro Circuit Platinum had lots more top end than my fresh 95 KX5 with the FMF low end gnarly.
I think I definitely need to get the FMF KX5 desert pipe!
I ordered the Desert Gnarly pipe and Powercore silencer yesterday!
I can't wait to swap out the Woods Gnarly and Turbine Core spark arrester.
I've heard that the spark arresters cut the top-end power back a bit too. Anybody had that experience?
It'll be nice to have both setups in case I want to switch back and forth.
Ok guys, for anyone else still trying to tell the difference between the Desert Gnarly and the Woods Gnarly, here are some more pics of the 2 types of pipes on the same bike.
First is the Woods Gnarly and Turbine Core spark arrester:
Second is the Desert Gnarly and Power Core silencer:
I haven't been able to ride the bike yet to evaluate the change in power, but I'm sure it'll be serious!
