For those with FMF Q Silencer...did u have mounting issues??

[edz250r]

Hey Guys,

I purchased a Q silencer for my 89r from rockymountainatv, but the total distance between the silencer bracket mounts are about 1 1/2 inches shorter than the distance between the screw holes on my frame. Looks like I have to send it back...

Any one else have this problem?

i dont know that exaust off hand but maybe there was suppose to be an exhaust hanger or some type of bracket that didnt get stuck in the package with it?

[edz250r]

Yeah, that was exactly my thought and I called FMF about it. They said it should mount right up to the frame. I actually ordered a second Q silencer from rockymountain hoping that the first was a one time error, but both need to go back.

Hoping someone with a Q can provide some input...

if possible you should post a pick, i would really like to see this.

I'll do that and post after the weekend. I just trailered up the quad for a ride.

Correct. I have a fmf turbine core silencer. The silencer itself does not bolt to the frame. Both mounts need the stock mounts from the stock silencer. (Or something similar. I think my front one is from some motorcyle, it was on there when i bought the quad.)

Hope that helps.

crap, that sucks. my esr silencer bolted right to the frame and the rep at fmf told me no hangers, etc. were needed. I guess he was wrong.

Thanks for the info, guys. I'll be searching ebay for the hardware. Let me know if anyone has the stock hanger that I can purchase from...
