80overShee Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yes you will gain performance (after jetting) Yes it will be LOUD LOUD LOUD If its in an area where there is any possibility of bother others.....IT WILL! If being loud and gaining power is a concern, just pull the silencers and/or stinger tubes off and run only header pipes. I did it for a few hours before I picked up my Toomey silencers....its got quite a bit more pep with them off but my god is it loud. If I had to guess I'd say in the high 120db range. My friend was (attempting) riding next to me on his piped/cammed 450R and he couldnt even hear his quad at full throttle over mine at 3/4. The guy that said "yes it will hurt performance" was just saying that to keep you from doing it and possibily ruining oppurtunities for others. I say if you are absolutely not going to bother ANYONE!! go for it. If there is even teh slightest possibility.....DONT! Trust me, its LOUD! Toomeys are loud with silencers as it is.... Spark arrestors - ya, they 'supposedly' stop sparks in theory (fire/sparks cant travel through screens) but if you are running rich enough and the screen gets hot....it will actually ignition during any sort of backfiring. I've seen the 450R shoot flames multiple times (night time) and his is equipped with a spark arrestor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
