In a never ending quest for a quiet bike, I have done many things. I have done it to be less worn out at the end of the day, before the sound issue was even in the forefront as it is today. I have an FMF Turbine core on my '01 EC 300. The bike was tested at 88db at a local race, and I have tested it myself with myown meter at between 87 and 91db depending on surroundings. I have recently added a db snorkel which is a very interesting addition, though I have not measured it with the meter, it is quieter still.

At one point I modified a KDX silencer in search of the 82db my brother in law's KDX blew at a race, but It blew 86-89 db. (I think the variances are from being too close to other stuff.) I even painted it silver because one of my friends commented that it was an abomination to have that silencer on my Gas Gas.

If anyone wants it, it'll fit the early Gas Gas.
