Muffler/Silencer question

[wence]

Hey Guys,
This may be a silly question,but, what is the best aftermarket silencer for an 07 Ec300 with the std pipe.
Also, I have heard that the std pipe is fairly good so does the aftermarket silencer change anything other than noise?
Cheers Mark

I imagine the one that came stock on your bike has the slight bend in it about mid way? (stock Euro silencer). I would think if you don't want any increase in noise this would be the best one to have. I suppose the best performance may be the stock MX silencer or somethin like this...

or perhaps this from 2Tracing

My used 07 came with a long, straight, straight through GG silencer (no bend). I'm looking to pick up one of those Euro ones if you want to trade. I thought I had one all lined up but it seems it got lost by UPS in transit from Canada.

Yep mine has the bend.Number on the pipe is B12600200.
I will probably get a Dep muffler or similar, but need to wait for some funds.I'll let you know when I get round to doing this.
Cheers for the reply.

I tried buying the DEP from trailendurodirect yesterday....no longer available.

I use the FMF TC2 silencer with good results. Not a whole lot more noise and more bottom end for sure.

I bought a standard MC250 silencer from the greek gg dealer. Great power and quality with no increase in noise! Actually the first EC250's were imported with the MC silencer as standard!

Im now tossing up between the Gas Gas MX silencer and the T.C 2. Anyone able to comment on the difference between the 2 ? (build quality, serviceability, noise, power delivery etc)
Sorry for the hyjack.

I bought a used one which was no louder, and made no more power than the stock one with 50hrs on it, so maybe it will be a db or 2 quieter with new packing. But I only bought it for the USF spark arrestor to be able to ride in the US forests. If you are buying a silencer to make power, you are wasting your money. Buy one to be quieter or legal.
