has anyone used one of these, do they reduce power like they say? are they really quiet? would anyone suggest buying one? or would you go shorty ? :yeehaw: I love this banana, can we get a green one?
I have a Turbine Core (1) and a 'Q' silencer and have ridden a 200H with a TC 2. In my experience the TC 1 is the loudest, the TC 2 is next, and the 'Q' is the quietest (significantly so). With the 'Q' the sound is louder out of the engine cases and the sides of the pipe than out of the end of the pipe. The power difference is so negligible that I can't tell the difference. I really like the lesser sound level of the 'Q' and would enthusiastically buy it again. It is also well made.
For the area around here the regular turbinecore 2 would be fine,if you ride with any of the newer 4 strokes like I do they are much louder then even the 2 stroke powercore silencer.Yes being quiet is the way to go but when you can hear the bark of a 4 stroke over the ring ding of the 2 strokes there is a limit.
If buying from the US make sure to have the item shipped postal, UPS will ding you for a Brokers fee coming over the border.It is worth it.
Hey,
On the KDX tech tips, The author states that the stock pipe is the quietest, Hands down. The aftermarket silencer mod. is listed close to last because the power gains are miniscule. However, the noise gains are WAY up! This may only apply to the newer DX's, so check and see.
I have owned several DXes over the years and I can't recall a whole lot of difference between the stock or aftermarket pipes.....other than noise!
Later,
Dave
