made by stuart toomey. its a toomey spark arester,a 2 into 1 design for there pipes

OK - so rather than having 2 separate spark arrestors - it's just a 2 into one spark arrestor - makes sense - just never seen one before.

Thanks Nathan!

WHy???
GAY

Looks like a fart can on a ricer.lol

**brapp** · 09-19-2007, 10:37 PM

its has to do with noise also if i am corect. i belive it brings it down to 96 decibles also.

**RedRider_AK** · 09-19-2007, 11:28 PM

Yeah that really looks gay.

**350Xhilaration** · 09-20-2007, 07:02 AM

Yes it's a spark arrestor/noise reduction type add-on.

I don't believe Toomey's silencers can be run is some areas due to the lack of a spark arrestor and higher than allowed dB levels. It looks gay, but if the alternative is not riding or buying a spare set of spark arrestors, it's a much better option.

Its called a hush kit with S/A, the S/A is removable.

Toomey T-5 hush kit.Ever heard Toomeys on a shee?LOUD.No way you get pass the dune police without it.

**Dirtcrasher** · 09-28-2007, 05:47 PM

Yes they are loud. I don't really care for Banshees but they have an incredible unique sound to them with the Tommeys. Simply sounds like a nasty chainsaw with tire spin constantly.

Never seen them here. Here in cali they dont check sound so we dont care.

In our dunes we dont need S/a's because its pure sand nothing to catch on fire.
I think its more for our buddies to the north. Oregon dunes are anal about that stuff.

IMO toomies sound like s*** and the power comming out of toomies is on the poor side too.

Here in cali Green stickers are all determinded by year/make/model. If your bike has a red sticker there is no aftermarket product that can make it a green sticker. and visa versa
