    Any suggestions out there about getting the decible level down on the 09 450 txc? In two events this year, I was told that the db level nearing 98-100 is border-line unacceptable at events. I wasn't sent home but was told to keep the throttle half and a gear higher when around people and houses near the course-I do anyway. I understand wholly about noise and our sport. There are too many squids out there running loud exhausts to give us a bad name. Anyhow-will repacking do the job or is it just the design for a closed course MX type exhaust? I was looking at the FMF-Q????
    Thanks.

    Does the TXC have the removable spark arestor screen at the tip? On the TE it makes a huge diff on noise level.

    I've read that the Leo Vince system is very good AND quieter than stock...

    try a Arrow dbKiller (euro spark arrestor) or a DBdawg

    Just installed the db killer on my TE450 and it was noticably quieter. You have to buy a spark arrestor screen from BBR and weld it onto the lower end of the insert though and it wont say NF approved but I think most race organizers will let you go with just a stick down the old pipe check.
