Who makes the quietest silencer/spark arrestor for the KX500

(1/6) > >>

triffecpa:
I've currently got an older Answer spark arrestor/muffler installed on my '90 KX5.  Even with new packing, it's pretty loud.  I've checked the FMF website and they don't list a "Q" model for the KX5.  Has anyone tried adapting one of the other Kawasaki "Q" products for the KX5?  Any other manufacturers out there that make a nice quiet spark arrestor/silencer for our bike?  Thanks

mikesmith:
How about the stock one with a sparkey?I run a Answer s/a and your right,it is loud,even freshly packed.

Kawadougie:
I use an FMF ISDE spark arrestor/muffler and it is very quiet.

Paul:
A fresh packed stocker is very hard to beat for the quiet. I use one and the enduro's I race require > 98db @ 1M. The thumpers sure hate that but the KX comes in easily at 93 - 94db.

John:
I know Doordie had a silencer lying in his garage. He claimed it was very silent. Round-ish shape but I can't recall the make...
