Yes dh. I've tried two different mufflers on Q after banging the cat out of the stock muffler. There was a noticeable difference in power eliminating the stock muffler, even without the cat. Mostly top end. My only question is does your head pipe stick out from the frame at close to the same angle and length as Q does? I can't imagine that it would be much different from Q other than how it plugs in to the head to the TU 250 motor, since I believe it's the same basic frame. The first pic is of the stock muffler.

I first mounted the FMF TC2 on Q (see second pic). I've put it on my other CG (Hondoid) motors and really like it. It is also a very high quality unit.

It ended up being too loud and too shrill of a tone on the OHC Suzuki motor and I didn't like it, so I changed it to this.

You have to order a 1.25 to 1.5 muffler adapter and do a little "reformatting" on it to splice the new muffler to the FMF TC2 mid-pipe (as you can see in the third pic)

I REALLY like the sound on the OHC motor and appearance of this muffler. It seems of a decent quality and Lord knows....the price is right. It will also pass the Rangers coat hanger test. I did drill more small holes in the baffle to free it up a bit.

If your head pipe may appear to stick out remotely close to the one on Q, either of these mufflers can be fitted to the SSR XF250 successfully. If you don't start with the FMF TC2 as I did, you will need to have a mid-pipe made at a muffler shop to splice the second muffler on to your SSR XF250.
