[QUOTE="jsned, post: 1067729, member: 18524"] I was riding with my two buddies on KTM300XC, stock, this weekend, and was amazed at how quiet they are. Does the "Q" silencers quiet a 2 stroke down like the stock KTM silencer? If it does I will by one today. But what I have heard they DONT quiet a stock motocross bike down that much. I am thinking about trying to get a stock KTM 2 stroke silencer and modifying it to fit my Yamaha. 4 years ago I had a stock CR250 (01). Went to the Hatfield and Mcoy trails for a week to trailride, and didnt know if they enforced the sparkarrestor rule or not. So to not get in trouble, I took a stock KDX silencer (which Fredette give me) and made a step sleeve to connect to the exhaust pipe, and bent and modified the mount tabs to line up with the stock mounts. It lined up perfect, and looked like it was suppose to be there. I am telling you there was hardly any power loss, and since I, [B]like most people wether they want to beleive it or not, [/B] dont use all the power the new bikes have anyway. It actually smoothed the bike out. Last weekend at Buffalo Range, I was sitting down at the trailer taking a break, and started listening to the noise. For anyone who dont know Buffalo Range there is a mx track down in this old pit with walls about 50 foot high all the way around it. You would think this would stop the noise. Even with this it was unreal how loud the 4 strokes where going around the track. You could here the 2 strokes but only when they where on the side by the parking lot. There where more 4 strokes than 2 strokes, and it was really loud. I am not ranting about 4 strokes vs 2 strokes but I am telling you we are fighting a losing battle if we try to do it ourselves. If the AMA, private park owners, and track owners dont enforce something it aint going to change. I feel this way because I have brung up the loud pipe issue with freinds and people at these places i ride, and most of the time I am told to stop bitching and leave them alone. I am getting as frustrated as anyone. [/QUOTE]
