03 crf450 exhaust questions

[tnrider]

i see many riding locations that require something no greater than 99db and spark arrestor (US forest service regs). will my stock 03 crf450 setup cut it? what mods are necessary - for little money and losing little performance

Unfortunately no, but there are easy ways to retain the stock setup and bolt on a well designed and affordable 96db S/A solution. Take a look at the Pro Moto Billet Silent Insert and spark Arrestors.

From their website :
This insert will reduct the noise level on your CRF 450, YZ 250F-450F to meet or beat the 96 db sound test.
Simply inserts into the nozzle and is held in with a bolt from the back side.
Available for all of our spark arrestors. Only $29.95

Here's a link to the insert ann their slick bolt on Spark Arrestors:

Looks like you have to buy the spark arrestor endcap ($119) then the silent insert ($29). About $150, but much cheaper than an aftermarket pipe.
