Exhaust too loud

[ATKnewbie]

Well it happened today, one of the neighbors came over complaining that the quad is too loud.
He even had the state and county ordinance in hand with a decible meter...
I knew the guy was a little off, but it appears he has nothing better to do than complain about others.

I tried explaining that this was the stock exhaust, but that did not get me far!

So how can I quiet the 125 down a bit?

Give your neighbor ear plugs!!!!!!

That was close to my wife's response, but yours is a bit nicer.
I am hoping there is a slip on out there that may tone it down a bit and if that does not stop a war from starting, so be it.

Are you doing this in town? Or do you have a few acres?

[ATKnewbie]

Not in down town, we are a bit outside of town on four acres.
I do not believe it to be a true problem, just an unfriendly neighbor with nothing better to do.
No one else has ever complained even when I had my Dale out running around the yard which is quite a bit louder than my sons quad.
But, for the sake of the overall happyness of the neighborhood I am willing to make this sacrafice if there is a decent means of toning it down a bit.

Contact Guy Sutton at 219-746-3476. He has a brand new Leo Vince Exhaust he is selling for the Typhoon. It is quieter!

Thanks.
I spoke to Guy earlier this morning and he is sending me the exhaust this week.
He did say that I may see a power loss from the exhaust compared to stock which is unfortunate.

I recieved a quite end cap when I purchased my sons bike. That would have surely solved the problem. THe bike sounded like a sewing machine when I tested it out. My neighbors haven't complained at all as my son rips it up on my dads property next to my house. One came outside, looked, and said to someone else, "That lil guy is getting better isn't he?"

[ATKnewbie]

Did anyone else get an exhaust end cap with theirs?
I did not and this would have handled everything.

Exhaust end cap??? Do you mean, spark arrester? Just got news out here in Ca. that new shipment comes with spark arresters and "air boxes". Along with updated jet changes.
Air box alone will quite the "noise maker" muffler down.
As far as I Know, FYM mfrg. is updating these bikes on a weekly basis.
If you look online, you can purchase an air filter "K&N" looking style, that has a clear plexiglass cover (shield), that is claimed to protect from mud. Have'nt tested yet.......But I bet it will quiet you bike down, will act as conventional style air box?
Last I came across it,.. it was cheep!!!! Only a few days ago or so
