Hi,
I have an ArcticCat500-Auto 2001. I NEED to have it quieter because of where I ride. Even if I loose a bit of power, is there a way to make it much quieter?

I don't know what your exhoust looks like, but if you can add a piece of something, to aim the output of the exhaust pipe down at the ground it will quiet it.
Mabie a piece of hose or something.

It's just the general noise of the engine. I'm not sure if it's the clutch or what. It sounds like an 500 ATV. I just need it still quieter.
Is there nothing I can wrap or replace to make it quieter. I'm not technically savvy re motor engines. I could try that bit of downward hose...
Regards,
Jaye
