he street bike market is huge in America. New street bike sales are going through the roof, which in turn makes the used street bike market even stronger. Everything on the street is popular: dual-sports, Supermotos, cruisers, naked bikes—and don’t forget sport bikes—all are selling in big numbers, all across the U.S.A.

     Most of those proud new owners (and your new customers!) of brand-new or used street bikes desire to personalize their shiny new purchases via custom performance and/or stylized aftermarket products. The first step they usually take is with the exhaust system.
     FMF has been an industry leader in off-road performance exhaust systems for more than 30 years. For almost that entire time, customers and dealers have strongly suggested to FMF that they put their expertise, R&D and vast knowledge of performance exhaust systems into the street bike market. Not content to offer a “me, too” product in this market, FMF held off until they could produce something with the quality, performance and uniqueness that would uphold FMF’s outstanding reputation.

The competitively priced aluminum version of the PowerCore S has a clear satin anodized finish and is mated to a stainless steel mid-pipe and modular end cap.

     After 30 years of success in the toughest off-road performance environments, FMF finally set their sights on the pavement sector. In 2003, FMF answered the call for a quality performance slip-on street muffler, by introducing the PowerCore S and it has been a great success. With the PowerCore S, they definitely hit it out of the park when it comes to performance, sound and looks. The PowerCore S is offered in two different price point versions—an aluminum oval can or FMF’s exclusive oval-to-round titanium version.
     The PowerCore S Titanium is FMF’s premier muffler and is constructed of military-grade titanium, making it pounds lighter than the stock system in most cases. Due to its unique computer design with real world features like FMF’s exclusive oval-to-round canister (pat. pend.) and Hi-Flo internal square core, this muffler provides greater cornering clearances and optimum silencer volume. The PowerCore S Titanium version is available in three really cool, distinctive titanium color finishes to ensure good looks and a very high cool factor for every bike.

The titanium PowerCore S comes in three distinctive colors.

     FMF also offers the competitively priced PowerCore S in an aluminum oval. This muffler is manufactured with an extruded satin anodized aluminum canister, and is mated to a stainless steel mid-pipe and modular end cap. The PowerCore S is designed to be lighter than the stock muffler and offers unmatched performance.
     FMF’s PowerCore S mufflers are computer-designed then dyno- and rider-tested to offer substantial power gains over standard (and some competitors’!) systems. All of these mufflers have a square, perforated stainless steel inner core, which provides optimum flow and an authoritative sound thanks to Hi-Flo technology.
     The oval-to-round design provides optimum silencer volume combined with the exclusive Hi-Flo square core to produce its own unique sound. Quiet-Core inserts are available to establish near-stock sound levels while still offering higher performance and lighter weight. These FMF systems are very easy to mount with a three-piece design for structural reliability.
     All FMF exhaust systems feature an exclusive cross-weave, multi-element muffler packing to ensure longevity and maximum sound disbursement. Where applicable, all FMF mufflers come with a mid-pipe and mounting hardware. The mid-pipe on the titanium units is also made of titanium, further ensuring light weight, great performance and that racebike look.
     When FMF entered the street bike market a little more then one year ago, they knew that they had to produce a product to please a varied and finicky customer base. FMF also knew that their existing off-road customers (many of whom also own street bikes) would expect the same quality and performance from FMF’s street division as FMF has always delivered from its Dirt and ATV divisions. With the PowerCore S, FMF has fulfilled its promise. Call your Parts rep today and stock up.
