Does anyone know what other model and year mufflers will fit on a 1986 Honda atc 250r that will quiet down the exhaust. It doesn't have to be a Honda muffler or even a trike muffler. Has anyone used a different exhaust and been successful? I have a welder and could make mounts and pipe bends.but not sure what muffler to look at.



Thanks,
Andrew

If you're willing to modify, an 86-89 TRX250R silencer would be a good fit, and probably require the least amount of modifications.

Is the trx exhaust quieter then the atc they look almost the same?

In the battle for quietest spark arrestor, I would say stock TRX vs. stock ATC is a tie. You won't find anything much quieter than the stock exhaust system. When you said you were looking for a quieter muffler, I assumed yours was not stock.

Fitting a stock silencer/spark arrestor to your FMF pipe will quiet the exhaust note down quite a bit. The FMF expansion chamber itself, is a bit noisier than stock as well, as it's made out of a thinner gauge steel.

You could also try repacking your old silencer as well the packing is cheap and good tight repacking will quiet it down alot

You're welcome. Hopefully it gets the volume down to what you're looking for.
