250 kicker instead of 500 on 2002........

Post by pimp559 »

Is anyone here running a 250 kicker instead of the 500 with a FMF pipe on a 2002? I got the 500 kicker to fit well but would really rather run the 250 kicker because I like the look better (it's more PIMP) :lol: .

Iggy might best be qualified to answer this, but I can also chime in.....the 250 kicker is too short and makes starting the 500 a pretty major PITA due to a lack of mechanical advantage (leverage). I agree though, that it does look much better.

I think I would be better at starting it now if I put the 250 one back on. But I'm not cause the 500 one does have more leverage.

I'll agree that the 500 kicker is easier to use than the 250.

But If want a 250 kicker I've got one that I will gladly trade for
your late model 500 kicker.
