Hello all!
I have a 1999 KDX200 that came with an old FMF Powercore silencer. I want to switch to either the stock muffler or the FMF Turbinecore to quiet it down a bit and get USFS legal with the spark arrestor. Are all H-series exhaust components compatible? The only decently priced stock silencer on eBay only says that it fits 1995-1996 KDX 200's. Will this work with my 1999?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance!

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
Yes it'll work on your 99. It'll fit all 200 & 220's from 95-06.
Take a look at a 94 silencer for visual comparison to make sure this one (95-96) is listed correctly.

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
I just scoped out eBay and the only one I see listed as 95-96 is the Answer silencer that's missing the end cap for 49. I wouldn't buy that one.

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
This is the listing I was looking at.
Looking again, it appears to be missing the little downturned pipe at the tip (the "stinger?"). Would that affect performance/noise in any noticeable way? Overall the can is a little beat up, but it's the cheapest one I see that's not completely rusty. And all the other used silencers for my generation are a little too pricey for me. I would rather spend $160 for a new Turbinecore than $140 for an old OEM can.
Thanks for the advice!

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
For the noise, try repacking and cleaning your powercore. That will not solve your spark arrester problem but will make it quieter.

Well, if you buy a new one, at least it will be spotless clean inside with factory fresh packing. That would some time refurbishing a used one and the cost of packing a touch of silicone sealant.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net.

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
Thanks guys. I ended up just going for the used one for now. Turns out the Turbinecore was out of stock pretty much everywhere (at least for a reasonable price). Thanks for all the advice everyone

Re: Exhaust Compatibility
This is likely a bit to late but I have a nice condition stick one from my 1998 220 if your interested. I can take a few pics if you like.
2001 KDX 220, bought 8/10/22 from original owner, still had factory tires. Now ported, milled head, bored carb and revalved/sprung suspension.
