firefighterjosh Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I never had any problems getting in with my hush kit. I wish I wouldn has just gotten the slip on sparkys though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 but than you'd be too loud tho right? i thought about getting them but i bought my hush kit, i like mine, so no problems at all ?? leaving in 2 days and making sure..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I dont know if they would check a hush kit for a spark arrestor.. they might just wave you through by looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighterjosh Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I had no problems at all with the hush kit. but it seemed to rob some power. Didn't want to get into the power band that easy. My buddy's had the sparkys and he also got in with no problems and his seemed to run alot better. Too be totaly safe get the hush but you will loose power IMO. But I don't think you would have any problems with the sparkys. If they say something too you just tell them it was your first time there. they will let ya by. Last weekend I got my King quad in with my HMF pipe. It runs 101 DB lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 if ya have a truck throw it in the back, they will not make you start it if its in a truck. thats how I get my drag bike in, have been doing that for like 4 years now.

dajogejr Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Agreed. Sooner or later, they're gonna make you start it...but I threw mine in the back, too...on Memorial weekend and they were slammed busy. Check for ORV, state park sticker...and sparkies. Do yourself a favor, leave the sparkies on once you get in. Fellow rider has gotten popped two years in a row for getting in them taking them off right away...unless you don't mind a 150 dollar no sparky ticket...and the hassle. Honestly...unless you have a full built drag bike, I wouldn't worry about a DB test. those four strokes are WAY louder than 2 strokes...they're gonna get DB'd first.

BellicoseBanshee Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 the hush kit is a spark arrestor. The Hush Kit 2.5 is available with ($189.99) and without ($129.99) a spark arrestor. Do yourself a favor, leave the sparkies on once you get in. Fellow rider has gotten popped two years in a row for getting in them taking them off right away...unless you don't mind a 150 dollar no sparky ticket...and the hassle. Sounds like he/she has my kind of luck! That is why I will be using a hush kit this summer at the Coral Pink Dunes, and I also plan on using it at Dumont, etc. (or at least have it with me) this fall to avoid the headache. If someone is going to get nailed the day I go, it WILL be me! :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomeySheeLE Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) I tried getting in without the hush kit and quickly got turned around.. Went back to the truck(in their parking lot) and threw it on in 2 minutes and cruised in with no problems at all.. I had the expensive one with the built in spark arrester, although they never checked it for that, think they just assume they are all arrested.. I agree the hush kit does rob you of power, even though toomey claims it doesn't.... POS Edited June 6, 2007 by ToomeySheeLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some thought, dajogejr has a good point about the 4-strokes, they consistantly seem to be the noisiest. Maybe I will just get the spark arrestors for now and the hush kit later, if needed for noise issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i still had my toomeys and had to do it over again i would go for the spark arresters and leave the hush kit on the shelf to rot...

lush_Dawg Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 why do we need spark arrestors or a hush kit? i got the tr6's and wanna go up but dont have anything so im guessing i will be turned away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 why do we need spark arrestors or a hush kit? i got the tr6's and wanna go up but dont have anything so im guessing i will be turned away You need the spark arrestors because there is a fluke chance that a spark might ingnite a piece of drift wood in the middle of the sand dunes and create a forest fire!! When ever I talk to some of the shops out in Cali and thell them we need spark arrestors in out dunes they start laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
