    An old trick to use to try and get some back pressure back and would work on the dyno is to drill a hole though the exhaust pipe and weld a larg washer onto the bolt. All you had to do was turn the bolt with the washer on it to supply more or less back pressure and then lock it down into place when you had the best readings on the dyno. You could also buy 2 universal supertrapp mufflers if you wanted.

    "Pissing people off" is never a really good idea, that's what causes trails to be closed down.

    If the machine is only a 250 I wouldn't bother with getting another silencer. What I would do is make a 2 into 1 collector and use a single silencer.

    Yes the 2-stroke silencer will quiet it down.

    Make it into a megaphone type exhaust. If you can find a old cobra or dg muffler to put on and take the packing out it would be loud. But with my experience using 2 stroke muffler on 4 strokes, the packing tends to blow out from all the force in the small diameter of the core. And it makes a high pitched 4 stroke/squealing sound. Stick with the 4 stroke muffler, unless of course the 2 stoke has steel baffles.
