Need help picking an exhaust
So being in Canada my options are fairly limited unless I want to pay big bucks on conversion, taxs, shipping, customs.......
What I have easily available in Canada is an FMF power bomb header($265) with a 2 Brothers M7 slip on($555). So about $850CDN to me with taxes/shipping.
However I don't want something obnoxiously loud and I've heard that the 2 Brothers exhaust is pretty loud. I don't mind a bit more than stock but is the 2 Brother's going to drive me buggy?
Also is it possible to order parts from another bike like a KLX300? When I search for a KLX300 I got a few more options for slip ons but nothing for a header.
Thanks!

Maybe look for a used KLX300 header and silencer as an option. Several have done that with good performance results and reasonable sound.
I had a loud HMF silencer for a while and hated it. Then went with a FMF Q4 with quiet core, used. Its a 2009+ model and fits my 2006 fine, but can't speak to other models.

I've looked around for used KLX300 stuff and havn't seen anything. Ebay sellers ttypically wat $80-$100 for shipping to Canada so that makes a used $50 header over $150CDN wwith shipping and exchange.
Will an aftermarket exhaust for a KLX300 fit a KLX250 if I buy a silencer and header for a KLX300?

Not sure if you've seen this thread, but Klxster did a good write up on many of the popular choices:

I also wanted the quietest aftermarket option, and ended up with a Q4 with quiet insert. In theory I could add a megabomb and possibly quiet it down a bit more, but am running the stock header for now. It's still just a little bit louder than I want, but the only other option is to go back to the sewing machine quiet and restrictive exhaust.

Not quite your ONLY option. There was someone here years ago who fitted a street bike silencer onto the KLX for lots more flow and quieter than the aftermarket products. It took some fabrication effort.

I've had two KLX250's and the best deal I found both times was from one of a few sellers on ebay. It worked out, even with conversion and shipping to be significantly cheaper than buying in Canada.

Have you tried calling around? I know royal distributing carries FMF for anything you want and will ship for free. My local dealer could beat most prices with shipping I found online. The FMF Q4 seems to the quiet choice The 300 system will fit if you buy BOTH pieces. the 300 header has a flair, so it won't interchange unless you have a 300 muffler.
