yes it will quit it down and make a faint bit more power and sound better.. steel wool is a temp fix and isnt the greatest thing to do on a 2 stroke since a 2 stroke scavages the exhaust...

Yea you don't want any steel wool getting sucked into your engine.. just go to fmf if your going to have to order it or dennis kirk etc . I think the red fmf stuff is the best they have. Products - ATV - FMF Racing
