Toomey T5's are too loud, according to the Police Dept.


Recommended Posts

So Ive done a search but didnt find anything recent and was wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the decibal level under 96 deciblas w Toomey T5's?

Looking for guys who are actually running or who have ran the T'5's and had to quite them down.

Over ten yrs now with out any problems until today, what a joke!

 

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Will the Hush Kit from Toomey come with any paper work?  Thats what the cop said I need to have.

Yes cascade does make them for the T5's, I wonder if anyone know if they work or not to keep the decibals under 96?

Peter, where are you riding? Is it pubic or private? And the hush kit with a sparkie will make it quieter. But I would say to also repack yoir silencers.

Hi Zilla,

 

Im riding state trails in NH. The decibel Level has to be below 96.  Is it even possible to repack Toomey T5's and have them below 96 decibels?

thanks

Ya get some FMF sparkles or some pro circuits. I think JD some of the PCs on maybe CPIs? You could make anything work. I've been thinkin about doin something to make my junk quieter. Getting old I guess. The biggass CFX silencers are looking appealing.

Check the links I posted. Not sure on the paperwork, as I'm sure they don't want to be held liable for anything especially considering they can't tell if your packing is non existent. Unless they dB test it on spot how can the cop tell if it's over or under 90 dB. A piece of paper shouldn't make their mind. If so I will write one up for you

 

Seems as though Cascade and Toomey both say they will pass USFS sound requirement

 

Ya if the cop doesnt' have a DB meter I don't see how that can hold up. Here in Oregon the Forestry department has them but will only test you if you are extremely loud or being a jackass.  When was the last time you repacked your silencers? That will help alot

In Oregon the limit is 97db. The Cascade silencers will get you well below that. They dont come with any paperwork showing this, but you could get a brochure from the Oregon Dunes Area that shows sound test results,they will be listed in that. When I put them on my bike(different pipes) I was tested at 88db.But my friends 2 bikes both have T5s and are legal here.
