I got a Leo Vince X3 Slip-on on my DR-Z. And I'm looking for a header to get better performance. Been thinking about the FMF Powerbomb. But that's kinda expensive. Is i worth almost $ 200?
Or is there any other alternatives?

Depends on which mods you have done to your bike.
You can try to get an used E-header ,but if the bike is stock ,you will not notice much gain.
It's better value for $ to do a rejet ,or go for a complete exhausts like the ssw-mrd. Freight to Norway for an exhausts system is around $100 ,so you can get a high performance system for around $550 ,which is good value for money

I only got the 3x3 mod now. Stock jetting.
When i innstalled the DJ jetkit my bike got way to much gas. So i went back to stock jetting. Got better lowend and i became more comfortable to ride with just the 3x3 mod ^^

For $ 550 i could get a bigbore kit and a Powerbomb header ;O

But the MRD/SSW is tempting.

my used SM came with a rs3 slip-on and I add a FMF strate (non Powerbomb) "E" header

it is working good but I would kill for a MRD/SSW --- just need money

and it is hard to remove a pipe that is working so good

Until I got my MRD / SSW I had mated an E model header to the stock exhaust which improved the low end torque a little. The E model header is much bigger in diameter compared to the stock sm header.

I'm good and spelling as normal

thanks for the asking

been working on the never ending money pit called a turboed saturn car

and some junk little s-10s too

the one thing I rely on is that DRZ400SM with 17,000 miles on it

the only "fail" for the SM has been the clutch cable in 17,000 miles ---- it made me laph a little wile I was pushing the bike home

I have a used FMF hi flo header that I want to get rid of. Came on my new (to me) bike and I'm going to put a different exhaust on it. PM me if you're interested.
