    DG silencer homade turn down

    here's som pics of the crude but hopefully effective turndown i made for my tri z's dg silencer. the idea being that it will direct the sound down at the ground rather than directly out to annoy people near trails. (also to direct it away from those pesky dnr decible meters)

    it's just 1" copper pipe with a 45 elbow, soldered together and then into a spare mufler cap. 1st go around the solder wouldn't stick to the chrome, so i sandblasted it, then it stuck fine. i will prolly have to trim the baffle a bit where it slides into the cap.

    now it's got a fresh coat of black paint(not sure how that's gonna stick to hot copper) and i'm waiting impatiently for it to dry so i can try it out. which means, of course, i will bolt it on when the paint's all sticky and mess it all up.







    86 tri z - might be nearly done throwing money at it! (good thing, the hondas are getting jealous!)
    86 250sx - old reliable
    83 atc 70-new project for me and the boy
    another 82 110
    a bunch of golf carts for the wife and kids
    -gone but not forgotten-
    82? 110 - why did i sell it??
    84 225dx - meh, it was a pile

    got it put on,sticky paint of course. doesn't really seem much quieter, at least from on the machine, but maybe will help with the dreaded meter if i get stopped.

    Did I freak you outwith my story the other day? The time I got stopped we were 20 minutes from the truck on the way bay and the warden gave me a pass so I wouldn't get another ticket but IDK if you got stopped early if they will let you ride the rest of the day. I think I'm gonna try a Cascade Innovations big bore silencer pictured on the machine the other pics are my esr muffler I had made 3 inches longer and I added the super trapp disks on it. Its still loud but not so poppie sounding like being all open plus it us forestry approved spark arrestor too.

    lol no not freaked out, been meaning to try it for a while. not just because of dnr either, i don't want to be the guy making a ton of noise ticking people off, that gets trails closed.
    honestly, most of the 450 thumpers i hear out on the trails are way louder than my 2 stroke. iv'e had a few ahead or behind me so loud i couldn't hear my machine over theirs.
