'09 FE450 muffler same as '08 KTM 450?

KDXfile · Oct 31, 2008

I'm thinking about buying a new '09 FE450 and the muffler looks the same as the one from the '08-'09 KTM450.
Anyone know if the KTM aftermarket units will fit the '09 Berg?
I'd like to get a Titanium unit for it since I'm guessing they're heavy like the OEM KTM unit.

RE:

You can get a nice Ti Akrapovic right from the Berg "Hard Parts" catalog.

You are both talking about the same muffler:
Part # SXS08450512
Mine should be here Tuesday.

You are lucky to get yours. They are on b/o now until Jan 09.

Any '07 sx or '08/'09 KTM 4 stroke silencer will work on the '09 FE450. There is a lot of hidden performance inside the stock silencer. It took me about 20 minutes to modify my silencer and the gains were well worth it.

Please explain, In detail. I really don't want to spend a heap of cash on a tin can!!!

+1 Tell us more

Is it the same mod that you can do to the 08 250/450/530 KTM muffler (removing the s bend in the back section) ?

The removal of the end cap & it's 7 1/2 inches of restriction is simply 8 screws.
pro moto end cap we have in blue & get 7 1/2 inches of center perforated core material.
under 175.00 for a non restricted muffler w/spark arrestor is ok.

I am going to try an FNF Q4 on mine and see how it fits and works.
