I too am into quiet. When I bought the rear suspension kit for this '185, it came with a god awful loud PK racing pipe. A month later I reworked my stock one to fit. QUIET! I'm also making my Nicholson project whisper by using a '125M muffler.

I seem to remember www.shadetreepowersports.com ,or www.shadetreeatv.com had/has(it's been a while since I've been on their site) a muffler for util quads that is whisper quiet, for hunting. If they still offer it, get one of those and make it fit.
This thread reminds me of another time out in the woods when I came across this guy with a banshee that was SOOOO freakin' quiet I was amazed!!! I kick myself every time I remember I did not write down the name of the silencers he had. I never saw him again, either.

No need to turn in your card, just clip a corner! I grafted a 400ex muffler onto my SX, and am pretty impressed with how quiet it is.... Something to be said for quiet!
No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

I'd like to see that too, Thorpe.
I also agree about quiet trikes. I've always been that way to some degree, but more as I get older. My 225DX that I keep threatening to get rid of has a Cobra on it, and I think it sounds kinda mean, but I get tired of how loud it is very quickly. I'd like to go back to stock exhaust.

i love quiet!! I would love to ride one of the electric dirtbikes that are out there. Imagine the wildlife you would see, and the overall expierience of cruising through the trails with nothing but a quiet wirr, and the friction of your tires on the ground!! Awsome!! Never mind the tourque from the instant power delivery!!
I rode with a cuz a few weeks back who picked up a BEAUTIFUL 250es from a farmer. Only flaw on the whole original bike was the farmer had removed the stock silencer and WELDED on a small EXTREMELY loud cow chaser!! I didnt know a bigred could be that loud. It was nearly unbearable to ride behind him. Of course he's a total dick and has to rev it as much as possible. In his defense though he has been bugging me for a stocker, just havnt had time to patch it for him yet!!

Well mate I have to get along with my neighbors so WTF is wrong with a stock exhaust?

Catch me if you can
No worries. I used to be the same way. The first thing I would do when I got a bike was put an aftermarket exhaust on it. I did that for years. Keep in mind, collectively you are dismissing years and years of experience here.
I remember when I was a kid, there was a guy a few years older than myself who used to ride a 350X with us. He didn't come out often, but when he did everyone would watch him. He was faster than anyone else on 3 wheels. He would climb the hills that the rest of us were scared to even look at. And he did it all with a bone stock 350X. I asked him why he hadn't modified the bike at all and he had a very simple answer- There was no need. No aftermarket exhaust will ever make the low-end grunt the factory exhaust does on a 4 stroke. I have come to appreciate the way a stock exhaust runs on a four stroke. When you're on a really technical low speed hill, just blipping slightly above idle to climb without having the front tire come up, a "cough and die" is the last thing you want.
Not only that, but where we ride legally in NH, we are subject to local laws which require a spark arrestor and we also must comply with decibel levels determined by the state. Trail side decibel reading is not an unheard of thing.
Also, we ride in such a tight formation that a DG would simply blow right in the face of the guy behind you. We are less than one bike length from each other most of the time.
Do what you want, but that isn't for everyone. Loud certainly does not equal fast or cool.

The day begins with 3WW
I remember years ago I bought a Warrior, and I thought I was hotbecause the pipe on it would set off car alarms. That bike was dog ass slow. Loud does not mean fast.

Damn, I thought it was just me...
For 4 strokes there is the FMF-Q. Real performance and very quiet, but not stock quiet.
I'm building my 86 TECATE and I'm looking for it to be quiet too. As quiet as possible. I'm modifying an FMF ATC 250R to fit, since I don't have anything else for it.
My drag Banshee has CPI's, I keep them well packed and is very quiet. Most young guys here don't like it when a ported, stock 350 goes 4.90 without noise and 200 pounds of rider, with very little noise, on knobby tires... I'm thinking the packing material will have a lot to do with how sound waves are expelled and how long it lasts. Just my opinion. On the TECATE I'll be using the loose type packing instead of the "matt" type. I'm guessing also, the size of the holes on the perforated core, where the gasses go thru have something to do. The one I'm using for the TECATE, which is from another silencer, has smaller holes on the core than the one the FMF pipe came with. I think the smaller holes will make it louder. Silencer length will affect it to. The longer the quieter.
Anybody has any input on this theory?
We'll see how it goes.
Your just a bunch of pussies for getting quiet...

I used to love being loud and obnoxious too but find myself preferring the quieter side of things the older I get. My 250r has a Richter Privateer muffler and it's gotta be well over 100db's. I will be getting something different soon.
