I got a ticket today for having too loud of exhaust. I was riding over the weekend at Florence, OR and got pulled over by the local sheriff. He tested my T-5's and I blew 105 db; 12db over the limit. They normally give you 10db over and I still went over. My girlfriend also got tested and she hit the max level for a warning. She too has the same exhaust setup. Anyway, after a $140 ticket, I need to quiet it down without sacrificing performance of course. I did repack w/ FMF spaghetti looking material and I can't tell any difference. Any know how's?

Install a Toomey Hush Kit. From what I have read, it supposedly increases your top end as well.

Yeah you gotta get the hush kit. I think it quiets them down to like 89-92 dbs. I just recently purchased one and there is a big difference. The only thing that sucks is that you have to re-tune when it is on and then re-tune again when you pull it off.

Actually, I had just pulled the hush kit off of my g/f's Shee and she says it semed to run much better. I don't know if it really did run better or she just likes the sound betterand thinks it runs better. When you say to re-tune, are you saying I gotta mess with the jetting?

Mine runs the same with it on or off. So I am assuming she is just going by sound. By re-tuning I meant I had to mess with the idle and air screws. If you need anything else just post here or shoot me a PM. I'd be more than happy to answer any other questions.
