Default Shared Exhaust?

Seeking advice / opinions / parts?

Bikes are 06 KLX 250 S with HMF slip-on and 98 KLX 300 R with an ancient Pro Circuit slip-on. Both are pretty loud.
I was looking for a pipe to quiet down either of my bikes when riding in sensitive areas.
Picked up a stock KLX300 exhaust that’s missing the end cap. I need to get one.
I’m looking at the OEM part on Bike Bandit vs an aftermarket setup on ebay.
Any opinions?
Anybody got one for sale?

Picture is of the ebay one. Goal is quiet. About $15 difference in price.

That's what I was thinking.
Can't really post a pic of the OEM cap but it doesn't look like there is much to it either.

I have one on my 2007 with a KLX250/300R stocker. I think the tip may muffle the sound a bit but I suspect only due to the extra spark arrestor (nothing but a piece of screen). Makes the sound of the 300 muffler deeper as well. At idle it sounds a lot like a huey helicopter. Still a little loud for me at rpms. I also feel I lost a bit of topend (even though I went up a size on the MJ) with the 300R silencer.

Ended up stopping by the dealer today and ordered the stock end cap. Turned out to be about the same as BB price. I like to throw my dealer a little business. They're pretty good (Angels World of Cycles).
This way I can use the pipe on either bike and know it won't draw too much attention.
Thanks to all.

You're looking for a quiet pipe? I have a stock pipe for the 2006 KLX that's been hanging on the wall for 6 years. Low hours. $150.00 LOL?

Deej,
I have one from my KLX 250 sitting on a shelf and even though it's very low hours, it's not as clean as yours ;.)
