P500 P520 Silent Rider inquiry

[crewcabrob]

Hi all,

This is one of the things I really want to have for my Pioneer 520, but it looks like work hasn't started on this yet. This is the response I got when I asked about the silencer:

"
Unfortunately we don’t make a custom silencer specifically for your model ATV/UTV.



We do have Universal fit silencers that allow for flexibility in fitting models where we do not have a custom silencer built. Your ATV/UTV needs to have a 4-stroke, non-diesel engine with displacement up to 1000 cc. Our silencers also only fit to round exhaust ports.



The standard BT-99 silencer requires a weld-on adapter that we supply. The adapter diameter is 1.5 inches so your exhaust exit port must be 1.5 inches or smaller for the universal silencer to fit.



Our BT-98 universal fit silencer comes with a 3-hole bolt-on adapter. The adapter bolts right to the muffler tip as long as you have the 3-bolt pattern with holes spaced 2-1/2 inches apart.



Our BT-95 universal fit silencer comes with a 4-hole bolt-on adapter. The adapter bolts right to the muffler tip as long as you have the 4-bolt pattern with holes spaced 2-3/8 inches apart.



The cost of each silencer is $189.00 and shipping within the U.S. is free.



If you purchase a silencer and cannot get it installed or are not happy with it, we do have a 30 day money back guarantee. Just call or e-mail for return authorization and return the silencer back to us for a refund. Please note we do not cover the cost to ship the silencer back.



If you want to order you can give us a call at 866-EXHAUST or you can order it at our website:

UNIVERSAL- Adaptable fit for 1.5



You can also see a sample installation of the universal silencer at

Hopefully there will be enough interest for them to start R/D and production soon.

Any other options you guys know of?

Thanks,

Rob

Is there that much difference in the rear of the 520 and 500?

 

[crewcabrob]

Yep, the exhaust muffler is straight out the back on the P520 and off to the passenger side on the P500.

I just looked at a picture. See what you mean. It looks like it would interfere with the dump function of the bed also. I have a silent rider and can't really tell a big difference in noise.

I think @trigger tried a silencer muffler but took it off.

 

[trigger]

Yeah, they suck IMO. It quieted it down a little but not enough to justify the loss of power. Ran it for about 45 mins and took it off at the trail head. Sent it back for a refund.

 

[crewcabrob]

Good to know. I have hear feedback both ways, but thought it might be worth it for even a few decibels of noise reduction.

If you find anything, let us know. I am looking for something too.

I tried one also, ran it for 10 min and sent back for a refund.

Neither silent rider nor Kolpin seem to make one for the p520 at this time. I'd have to do the universal fit (for either brand), which is a more involved install. All to potentially want to take it off in the first hour. Not ideal! Like the OP, I'm just looking for anything that might help take the noise down a small amount.

A jeep or Mahindra?

Funny, because I lost replied "golf cart", before your post, but new here AND "that guy" lol.

 

[crewcabrob]

I actually considered a golf cart, but it simply won't do everything I need to do with it. The smallest Honda fits the bill and I see no reason I can't desire it to be a little quieter.

I agree completely with this.

The Silent Rider does make it "marginally" quieter but it absolutely killed the power. It may seem counter intuitive but mine got quieter by opening up the exhaust, I removed the small outlet/baffle and installed a larger outlet with spark arrestor. It got rid of the high pitch of the exhaust note.

 

[HiFive]

I just recently installed a silent Rider it does quiet it down I would say about half the original noise level. I haven't noticed any power loss but I'm not running up and down hills mostly flat driving here in Florida. I also just purchased a heat shield from trigger hoping it will also dampen the sound as well as keep the heat from coming up underneath the seat.

The Grizzly tip mod removes the 'fartin in mud puddle' tiny exhaust tip sound. Breaths easier at cruise rpms. The dbs may or may not have changed but the obnoxiousness did....
