Does anyone have any comments about the exhaust silencers for atvs or recomendations for what brand to get

 

i think rtickwad bought one for his 450 he might be able to steer you in the right direction.

 

I have the Benz ATV silencer that I bought from Arkansasduckhunter.com
You can also get them from ATVsilencer.com

HERE is a pic of the muffler on my '06 500 HO. The silencer on the 500 does an excellent job of quieting the exhaust, more than 50% reduction I'd say. Let me know if you have any more questions about this item.

I got mine
from http://www.atvsilencer.com/ for $159.00 plus $12.95 shippin, Total $171.95.
It does quit it down quite a bit when you are goin slow, But you would be surprised how much noise the engine makes,
All in all, I like mine,

 

In most areas trying to make a quad quieter for hunting is a joke.
The animals are so used to the quads and motorcycles a straight pipe will bother them no more than something quiet.

 

My Hot Seat Performance pipe and can works great!!! I see critters all the time. Pretty well every ride. Moose and deer seem more curious about what is making the noise than anything else. It's like everyone running around in full camo. Animals are colorblind and hunters are trigger happy. Wear orange and make noise!!!

 

I would not take the word of someone that would put everyone and probably everything in a lump, i.e. Hunter's are " Triggger Happy "! Orange shows up as light gray to an " Animal ", and yes they are color blind but still see color and hue differences exspecially if you wash your clothes in a soap with brightners added.

Take my word for it or not, but I see lots of "critters" and I ride with some loud bikes. As far as hunting I'll still wear orange. And I'll wash it with brightners as well

 

My reply last night bombed out, okay it didn't save?

Anyways, yea I am no expert here, but I did like my Kolpin Stealth Exhaust system,
I think it does help, but I agree with the above posts, the engine noises itself are loud
to, nothing to be done there, so reducing the muffler noise is only a part of it.

My problem now is that I have dual exhaust, so I need to research that, maybe there is
some adaptor, or when I bought it there was some other pieces that came with it, dunno?

But bottom line, where I hunt deer they are really skiddish and easily spooked, so I guess whatever
can be done is better than nothing. If the old timers had their way they would ban ATV's in my
hunting club, they are not fans of them and feel it chases the deer away no manner what you
do or what kind you have. The irony is that they will seek us out to have our quads drag their
deer out, lol.

I have a Benz Silent Rider on my '04 700 and I really like it so far. I've had it about 6 months.
