HI ALL
I have a 2018 sport limited 1200 miles on it, it is loud IMO and I would like it much more quiet. I am going to repack my stock muffler and am thinking about adding a "silencer" per say attached to the discharge side. my questions are
1. will this effect running to rich or lean? if yes what would I need to do to correct
2. not concerned about some power or speed loss if that would be any result
I guess that is about all I have for questions. The wife and I are just cruisers, I wear hearing aids and without them it is loud. can't imagine how loud it is for wife with super hearing.
thanks

I covered the entire area behind the seats with 3/4" thick Fatmat on my Trail. I put it on the inside of the shifter console too. It's still not quiet, but it did help quite a bit. If you look up the name on line you can find places to order it. I've had mine in place for a couple of years now and it's held up great. Pressure washing over it doesn't even hurt it.

What did you use for mufflers? Did you connect your setup after the stock exhaust? I like the looks of it! I'm at the point that I want to quiet mine down more too, even if I lose performance. I've been considering building my own with an oval bypass type car muffler in place of the stock exhaust. My machine has a D & D slip-on on it now, which is louder than stock. Not a lot louder, but noticeable.

Stock exhaust is still there. I used a 1.5 inch ID flex pipe to attach the shorty mufflers to the stock exhaust and 2 clamps to attach the support bar. I had to expand the flex pipe slightly with an expander to fit over the stock muffler pipe. If I would do it over I would probably use larger diameter mufflers. but I am very happy with the results for under 150 dollars total
