First you will need to let everyone know what has been done to your quad, and if any changes were just b4 the problem.

Did you rejet it when you put the filter on?
Also, did you check all the exhaust for leaks( there shouldnt be if its stock)

Does the 300ex have the copper washer where the engine meets the exhaust, like the 400ex? If it does, you need to replace those when you swicth exhaust..or when you take it off to clean it I guess.

I have a question. My totally stock 400ex no mods no jetting changes just straight from honda sometimes makes a pop like 1 second after u shut it off. what is the cause of that? It only does it sometimes and doesnt do it while riding (or at least hasnt yet)

Thanks

sounds like my its overloaded with fuel when you shut it off and the heat made it ignite. Thats just a guess cause I dont know didly!
