FMF for KTM 690 Enduro
Hi Guys,
I wish to replace my stock exhaust with an aftrmarket. Why? 1) Reduce weight, 2) Appeal, 3) Sound, 4) Increase power. On my 990 adv I have some Akrapovic. The working fine. I would like to put an Akra on my 690 but prices are really mad ![]() Doing some research I find that FMF is the cheaper. When I had my XR650L I had the full system and it worked quite well. Can you comment on the FMF for the 690. Among FMFs which one is the right one? Many thanks ![]() Nic

same here, the Q4Ti is not super loud, but is real good replacement, my reason for switching the exhaust was lighter, its almost weighs half, the stocker gets hot and melts plastic etc, the Q4ti seems to run cooler, the sound is not obnoxious,
as for power, do u want more than what it cranks right now

No much more power, you are right, but quicker throttle response yes. Are the three FMF model good the same? Again, once it is fit on does it need remapping? Thanks Nic

Wings exhaust
Before you jump on the FMF go to the Wings website, email the owner and he can give you pricing. I had a single can shipped here for $350 total, may be a little less expensive for a 690 can. Akro quality at a much more reasonable price. Plenty of positive feedback can be read over in the OC.

I went to their web and dropped an email to the guy. On which bike did you fit it?Did you have to remap? I am just worried to mess fitting an aftermarket can without remapping. Remapping is not easy at all!!! Ciao, Nic

I got a quote for 307€ for the carbon tail one...which is good.
No need for remapping if you use the db killer, of otherwise you use it without you need to remap it with the KTM-Akrapovic set. Sounds good! I bet Wings as just reproduced the akrapovic system!!!! Nic
