Aftermarket silencer too long?

[Alberta EX]

I have been looking for a silencer to replace my stock one and I have noticed that some silencers are longer than the stock silencer, such as the FMF, in the "unlikely" event that I lift the front wheels off the ground and go too far over the grab bar always stops me with no damage to anything else, if I get a new silencer that is longer I am afraid I will damage it or rip it off.
Any thoughts?

I have a WB E-Series silencer and it touches the ground about the same time as the grab bar. When it does hit, it doesn't hit hard enough to tear the silencer off, but it will scuff it up.

Why the aftermarket exhaust manufacturers build their silencers knowing that this will occur, I will never know.

it's cause we have to go back to them to get another one which equals $$$$$ for them

what i have a wb slip on and it dosent even come close to touching the ground when i over shoot wheelies but my friend with the FMF pc4 almost bent his back when he over shot and almost hit a rock.
They make em longer so you are able to get all that power out of a exhaust system it must be something that they put in it that take a lot of room

i have e-series slip on and have flipped and broke the pipe twice

my e-series used to hit.. and i actually put a bunch of dents in the end cap and got tired of worrying about it so i milled about 5inches off the end of mine...looks pretty neat too

5 inches? thats almost half the pipe, my WB e series has never hit the ground when i stand it up on the grab bar and it doesnt get dented when i overshoot wheelies

["BLAHH"300!!]

cracked mine the other day- where it bolts on to the grab bar thingy-
it's not a big deal it's not falling off or anything- i'll have it rewelded back oneday

400exracerx...yea now it is like 7 1/2 inches..looks pretty neat..i use it for moto-x so i am not really worried about noise...

If you can ride it good then you wont have to worry about it.

[51]

um.... mr. stevengates45 did you ever see a pro race ? ...i know i have and guess what they are the best there is so you can't give me this "if you ride it good then you don't have to wory about it"....thats just funny...actaully i have won my last 4 motos and i should have won the 2 before that if my bike didn't let me down....you bring your quad around and i'll race anyday... i don't care what quad you got...not sayin i am better just kinda makes me mad when i hear that kind of talk.....so baisically thats how i feel

51, You must buy Lock-tite by the gallon for that quad. And people that brag usually don't know what there talking about, not that I am doubting anything.

I lift my quad up on the grab bar when cleaning it and my powercore pipe doesn't hit the ground,,it's close but doesn't hit the ground,,

I'm with Rico on this one. I'm real close, like maybe 2-3 millimeters but I technically don't touch. I have the powercore IV.

ohh i am sorry man...well it has been along day at school... i am tired and i completely mis understood.. you i fell like an ***** now..sorry again..hopfully no hard feelins ...late

[400exRacerX]

No biggie, I was just trying to get a laugh out of ya, maybe next time:D No hard feelings.

All of you that talk about how close it is to the ground but dosen't touch consider the grab bar also dig into the groun when it hits..i know mines like a sod cutter and lifts all the grass up

StevenGates,
Like my best friends old man use to say: If you haven't crashed, you haven't ridden.

I think to put that in todays words: If you're not riding on the edge, you're takin' up too much space.

Well dadex steven drag races so there's not much that can go wrong I don't guess if your just goin in a straight line. I guess you could hit a duck or something goin across the lanes while hammerin down...:huh
