FMF and HMF

[ginobili07]

If i get a FMF powerbomb header can I use a HMF sport series slip on? I have a 2002 honda 400ex.

no, you should buy the powerbomb, then after realizing it doesn't fit, donate it to me so i can use it with my HMF slipon.. it surely won't work with yours..:blah:

is sound an issue? according to the people who run it, the powerbomb will help quiet down the hmf, on top of adding a little more power. oleboy87 has this combo, and he loves it. i've been trying to get my hands on a powerbomb for a while now, but i just haven't had any luck finding one used. i would love to go that route..

Ive heard that a header doesnt really do a whole lot unless you have a lot of mods? maybe like 1 hp. not worth the loot in my opinion

sound really isnt that big of an issue im sure it still sounds better than stock! i found a new powerbomb header on motosport.com for 229 with free shipping if that helps.

But anyway it does work then? the 2 are compatible with no problems or do u have to mod the muffler or the pipe?

yes, it will work without any issues, and it is a direct bolt on replacement. a lot of people say that fmf headers fit better than stock.

Ok thanks i think i am gonna save up and do that combo, but one more question, Will the FMF header pipe still work with the heat shield i have now?

[Pipeless416]

nope, the fmf header will not have a heat shield on it, but lets face it, if you touch either with your leg, its gonna hurt..:p

Would a lexx slip on also work with the FMF powerbomb? and r the lexx any good thye are pretty cheap bu r they worth it? or is the HMF still a better bet?

[Pipeless416]

any slip on will work with the powerbomb header. as far as the lexx goes, they are starting to gain popularity around here and a lot of people like the quality, power, and sound that they have. there are some very well written reviews on here if you go back a few pages.
