I just purchased the HPD trail pipe and clutch kit (not yet installed) from Rick R. and he said to just stick with the stock silencer if I was concerned with the DB noise. Any suggestions for a different silencer, the one HPD has that is spark arrested and rated at about 93db I was told is much louder and doesn't do much for HP.

 

I HAVE THE RCR and i was concerned about it to but i like it now mine is not that loud i have had alot worse like my old 600 tripple with psi i wore ear plugs

 

93bd isnt that loud. That is what the muffler for my HPD exhaust is rated at, and it isnt that loud

 

I run the stock silencer on my wifes bike with a hpd trail pipe.

The performace loss is minimal.

If you really want a different silencer I would look at the HPD MTQ or a FMF turbine coreII

I run the FMF on my 400 and while it is MUCH MUCH louder than stock, its not to bad.

 

I had the RCR but went back to the stock silencer. It was loud, but not overly loud. I put the stock back on for hunting season and I seemed to have more low end power and not as much on top. Since top end doesn't concern me much, I left the stock silencer on. My RCR silencer is for sale if anyone is interested. It has maybe 10 hours of use on it at the most. Make me an offer.

 

I use the fmf turbine core II and like it a lot. It's considerably louder than stock but it's not overly noisy.

 

Thanks for the help guys.

I am interested in getting another silencer other than stock one but am somewhat concerned about the db's because I will be riding the Trails here in MI. and out at Silver Lk. If I jet to the new Pipe and then go with the HPD MTQ or Turbine core II will it be enough of a difference that I will need to rejet again? If there isn't much diff. in the power (or airflow) I would think I'd be ok. I know HSP has a silencer that they say requires no jetting. Maybe I could switch back and forth between the stock and aftermarket silencer if I don't need to rejet each time. I am more interested in low and mid range power as top speed is rarely achieved in the conditions I ride.

Would all these diff. silencers fit the HPD trail pipe I have?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Matt is that the strait through RCR $70 alum. , or steel silencer or the HPD MTQ? I might be interested.

 

It's the staright through aluminum silencer RCR has listed for $70.

 

That's really not what i'm looking for but Is it real loud? what are the db's if you know and does it require jetting when you switch from that to the stock silencer.
