Quiet Exhaust

[Eric Meyer]

I have a 98 KX250 that has a shorty powercore which is pretty loud and rude. My buddy has a CR250 that has a powercore II which isn't all to bad. I ride in some woods by a residential area, and I don't want to upset anyone.

My pipe is an FMF Fatty pipe also.

What is a very quiet solution other than stock?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have a PC Nature Friendly silencer along with a DB Snorkle. It's pretty quiet as long as I keep the revs down to a reasonable rate while riding the woods behind my property.
My oldest son took the bike (97 CR250R) down the road last week and I was supprised how "quiet" it was. He just gassed it a little going over some dirt mounds and the noise wasn't bad at all. I never heard it while someone else was riding it!

hope this helps, (the FMF "Q" is supposed to be even more quiet, but I'm not sure it's available your your model year).

FMF Turbine Core 2 Arrestor Q to be specific. It is supposed to be US Forrestry compliant and 96db.

Wanted to see if anyone maybe had any experience with this silencer.

I have one and its pretty quiet. Using the DB Snorkel is probably the only thing that would make it quieter.

Do you know anyone that has used the DB Snorkel? It is quite a contraption...

I've never seen one in action but here is a good thread on it.

id love to try the DB snorkle but i cant justify the price. 85 bucks for a couple pieces of injection molded ABS. ehhhhh
if it were made of aluminum or stainless or something yeah but for 50 cents worth of ABS...

It robs a little bit but it's really not that bad. I don't use all the power the bike makes as it is..and it's worth being in stealth mode when I ride :nod:

I put one on my 99 KX125. It was really hard to tell if it robbed any power. It was much quieter, which gave the perception of being slower, but I don't know that it actually was. Still drug my 180+ lb arse around no problem.
