dirt-riceburner Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 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? Quote

locogato11283 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 get hte hush kit from rockymountain atv. i seriously doubt itll give you more top end but itll def quiet it down. Quote
rockgc9 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 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. Quote

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? Quote
madkaw Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 check ebay sometimes they go cheap on there Quote

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. Quote
Bansheeman1121 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Pro circuit 304 or fmf powercores should keep you below the limit and i think theyll fit on the t-5s Quote
