    What about sound levels ?

    Is the PC 296 noisier as the Q stealth ?

    Regards.

    I don't know yet, but it would be nice. I don't think the Q was that much more quiet than stock, maybe a little. The 300 is just loud, maybe because of the stock pipe on mine.

    Yes, indeed, I also have the stock pipe and as the metal is very thin it gives away some noise coming directly from the expansion chamber, not the silencer. But I like metallic sound it has :D

    I'm thinking in buying a silencer for another bike and would like to have the quietest on the market ...

    Regards.

    I like the sound too, but worried I won't pass the sound test for Nat Forest riding and racing, 96 db max.

    I would think you have some other choices besides FMF and PC being in the EU. Will be interested in what you find :cheers:

    My Q-Stealth is a lot quieter than the stock silencer especially when you are not full throttle. It doesn't add any performance advantage, at least that I can tell. If I had it to do again I would buy a turbine core or a PC pipe with a 296. If your #1 goal is quiet then the Q-Stealth is the best.

    I've had the same problem. I TIG welded it but now it starts to crack along the rivets...

    I traded my ripped Q for a used PC Platinum pipe to go with the 296 I have. Have the stock pipe and fresh silencer on right now, will run it for a ride or 2 for a baseline.
