Interesting! May have to consider this. Its tough to tell through youtube clips differences in 'silent exhausts' and also with the tip mods. You can hear a difference obviously but would be nice to see in person.
I don't suppose you recorded before/after sound? half the noise would be pretty noticeable. sadly, they don't make silent rider for p520 so i'd have to rig the universal one. still possible though. i have a trigger shield inbound too
No recordings, hoping trigger shield finishes the muffling down to a decent level.I don't suppose you recorded before/after sound? half the noise would be pretty noticeable. sadly, they don't make silent rider for p520 so i'd have to rig the universal one. still possible though. i have a trigger shield inbound too

I may have to try this mod, but its hard to take a saw to the muffler on a brand new rig.
I’ve got a stock muffler to Silent Rider to an aftermarket muffler for triple quiet. No power loss at all & in 3rd gear just creeping around, it’s pretty dang quiet.
Interesting! Any chance you could take a video clip (of the sound/driving) and share it on YouTube or something?
Between the trigger shield and the silent rider my noise level at lower speeds10-15 mph has drop to a comfortable level .
I’m recovering from surgery in a rehab hospital currently. I’ll be home in 20 days or so. I’ll get a video made for ya when I’m done!
I've got a silent rider for a 500. It came with a used unit. If you want it pay the shipping and it's yours. PM me.
No worries, and replied. I posted it for sale but people just crapped on my posts, so I deleted it. I know it's not for everyone, but I have one for sale and I'd rather it go to someone who wants it instead of the dumpster, which is the next step.
If you are interested, PM me.
ADDED: I sent it to Sleepybear. Hope it works out.

Triple muffler setup on my 2018 Pioneer 500. Stock into Stealth muffler into a Dodge Charger pulloff muffy. May eventually try a Thrush Quiet muffler. No power loss & cruising in 3rd gear it’s super quiet.
I am impressed with that setup! nice. There is a free cell phone app to measure decibels called 'NIOSH SLM'. I ran the app in my honda 520 cab at near head level before selling (with roof and glass windshield) and got readings of 101.4 to 108.6 dB with WOT on pavement with stock tires. I sold my honda partly due to noise but i am sure many members would love for you to take a quick reading while driving with the app - at least i would!
App data for the run described above:
LAeq 101.4 dB
Max. level 108.6 dB
LCPeak 134.4 dB
Projected dose 4336.9%
Get well soon man. Hope everything goes well.

I bought a trigger shield earlier this year. It was definitely a great addition to the P520.
The 520 is a little easier to get to the area above the muffler, I plan on creating a heat shield that’s insulated with some sound deadening material that goes over the area where the stock muffler is at. This should further cut down on noise.
I also plan on creating a rubber flap that is at the front edge of the dump bed near the passenger compartment. It should help seal off some of the noise coming from the back end of the vehicle to.
I’m also looking for some stick on rubber mat that I can place on the underside of the roof. There was a distinct noise level increase when we put the windshield and the top on. I feel like the sound just bounces around those hard surfaces with nothing to absorb it.
This is a major problem for me, I have so many good ideas that I would like to start fabricating for my pioneer but have almost no free time to work on it.
