Ebay Can STFU quest.

So, in an attempt to try and tone down my exhaust just a bit, I decided to try something simple, put in a sparl arrestor with a slightly smaller diameter exit.

I used a Pro Circuit PC4000-0002 1 1/2" spark arrestor for this purpose and simply sandwiched it behind the fiber gasket and the body of the carb and bolted my tip and cover back in place. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Circuit-S.../dp/B019HAAN5U





It shouldn't hurt performance too much up top, but I will give it a run here once I get the rest of my bike back together and the traffic dies down.

I did give it a test start, and while it isn't really any quieter or louder, the "thumps" from the tail pipe are quite a bit more pronounced. I can live with that if it is just a bit less loud while riding around. If not it is coming right back out lol. This is a similar approach my my Coffman's silencer, Two Brothers, and some other muffler manufacturers use to help tone down their exhausts without hurting performance too much. It's effective on my VFR. It's still loud, but not ear piercing.
