Default Noise level for Toomey pipes on Blaster

I just installed a Toomey pipe kit on a Blaster. It seems pretty noisy, and I'm curious if anyone knows the decibel level of a Blaster with the kit??

I ride in Oregon, so this is a big factor for me. I looked on Toomey's site to see if they have a "hush kit" for the Blaster, but didn't find one. Is one necessary?

I installed one on my son's 03 Blaster and I know what you mean. I believe that the sound is pretty close to 100db. Also, keep in mind that the pipe does not come standard with a spark arrestor.

Yeah, that sounds about right decibel-wise.

Does anyone know if the Sparky II spark arrestor will quiet this down a little? If not what other choice do I have other than going back to stock? Unfortunately I can't ride it on the dunes here in Oregon if it's too loud.

how much power difference do you notice now that it has the toomey kit on it? is it really noticable? I'm thinking about getting on. and doesn't that noise sound good though?

The power gain is incredible. I'm pulling the front end off the ground a lot more so I have to be more cautious of that. However I've only been able to ride in a small field by my house so far. I'll be heading to the sand this weekend for the true test.

Toomey says it adds around 5 to 8 HP depending on your RPM range, and I believe it.

And yes, although it's loud, I certainly love that Toomey sound.

Stuart Toomey did confirm that they're working on a hush kit, which I'll probably buy when it's available. Does anyone know how a spark arrestor and hush kit would work together, if at all?
