GET IN TOUCHYes. Founder and inventor of the figurine exhaust plugs Ben Crouch personally reached out to Travis Pastrana and received his personal approval to produce them.
Please reach out to us via email or direct message through one of our social media outlets, and we will take any suggestions on board. We have many new Pro Plugz versions in the making. We would appreciate your personal requests along with any improvements you would like to see in the future. We are always open to innovation and improvements for our customers and we strive to produce the best for everyone.
The lanyard is there as an option to allow you to attach the figurine exhaust plug to your frame or exhaust, in case it ever fell out during transport over rough roads. It also helps prevent other people stealing them. We want you to enjoy such a unique product for your sport or hobby.
Like all products in general, Pro Plugz may break or chip when miss-handled. However, Pro Plugz by FMX All Star are made out of a custom blended high quality PU material, with clear protective coating to help make them as durable as possible. We recommend avoiding direct high pressure water blasting or the use of harsh cleaning liquids. Just like the decals on your bike, they can only withstand so much direct water force.
There are two types of exhaust plugs. The new "cut to size" known as the CTS plug. Or the old style "ribbed" plug.
The new cut to size, true fit exhaust plug made specifically by FMX All Star is designed for all exhausts between 20mm and 50mm. Ideally you want the plug to sit deep into the exhaust. You can trim the plug shorter to get the desired fit. This allows the figurine attachment to sit nice and flush near the exhaust tip. More information can be found on the instruction page on fmxallstar.com which also includes photos. You may be able to get the CTS plug to fit smaller sizes, but it is based around a 20mm minimum size.
To size up our original ribbed plug for your exhaust outlet you will need to match it to the best suited small, medium or large plug available on our site. Ideally, you want the rubber plug to sit deep into the exhaust with only 2 rubber exhaust plug ribs protruding out of the tip. You can trim the rubber plugs shorter to get the desired fit. This allows the figurine attachment to sit nice and flush near the exhaust tip. More information can be found on the instruction page on this site which also includes photos.
While the ribbed plug is still an excellent product, we highly recommend the new style CTS plug for the best fit.

Yes. Please see below there are several reasons why one should be used.
Use it for when you are washing your pride and joy, to prevent water and mud getting into the exhaust and engine.
It is also recommended to be used when you bike is stored, this is to stop any potential vermin like mice which we have seen nest in exhaust pipes before.
Also recommended using one for traveling on those long trips to the track.
Unfortunately it can't fit all vehicles, it is designed for manual vehicles with threaded gear sticks. But it will fit the most common manual gear sticks with threads, due the the extra 3 adapters we supply free with the gear knob. Sizes are listed on the instruction page. We can also supply a custom thread size if needed, just hit us up with the correct thread required via email and we will see what we can do. Or if you have the tooling and knowledge, you can also tap out the thread to the desired size at your own risk.
It is not essential but we recommend you do use thread locker to ensure the gear knob stays tight and in the desired position. We recommend Loctite medium or high strength, readily available at tool, automotive and motocross stores.
Thread locker is a fluid and that increases the cost for postage of products significantly. Also most people will have thread locker in their tool box for bike maintenance anyway. So we wanted to save you a lot of money on postage by not supplying something you might already have. It is also readily available at tool, automotive and motocross stores.
You only need to tighten it up enough that it is in the desired position and firm. To not overtighten, we suggest you use your fingers to do it up and not your whole hand gripping it. It's just not required to be very tight and may cause stripping of the resin thread if over tightened.
