Another thing I learned was that with my tools, 10 gallons of gas and 450-500lbs of people, my rear shocks bottomed out frequently, and only had a few inches of uptravel.  Before this weekend I was already 50ml over the stock fluid level.  Tonight I added around 20ml more.  This means that the shocks are completely full of fluid when compressed all the way.  I made sure that they would not hydro-lock, and topped them off with 100psi of nitrogen.  I'm hoping that this will help or even fix the bottoming out issue.

It sounds like its gonna be trial and error. Your rig was great Saturday, nice job Tim !

[Twisty]

Yes, I think it will be. 

Thanks jerry.  It was great wheeling with you.  Sorry about your tub.  .

[Twisty]

I'm suck of no exhaust.  I ordered this muffler and a bunch of tubing and other stuff.

Oh boy, I remember that muffler. Wait what? what? huh? I can't hear you!

[Ian]

its so small!  

[mattamd_xp]

Can that really even be called a muffler??? 

[Twisty]

It's better than what I have now, and given my space concerns I hope it will work.

Snowmobiles have already been faced with trail loses caused by loud exhaust, I'm sure we will be faced with it too with trail locations becoming closer and closer to residential areas. Noise is one of the few things causing all the problems with swanzey. I thing we as a whole should be more proactive on this.

So, are you saying that I bought a piece of , and that I need to do better?


Or are you saying that it's a good thing that I'm trying to make the MJ quieter?


 


I listened to quite a few youtube clips of the Flowmaster 10 series, and the Cherry Bomb extreme.  They both sound raspy, but not obnoxious on the 4.0.  Granted, it is youtube, and video cameras are hardly capable of capturing true sound.  I am after a quiet muffler, that isn't a "straight through" race muffler.  I can't fit a long muffler because I don't have a lot of areas where straight lengths of exhaust tubing will reside.  I also don't have room for a stock muffler, or a Thrush Turbo muffler (which I had before, and which Ian has) is still too big.  I will try this little FM muffler, and if it's too loud, I might add another small straight through race muffler upstream.

Twisty you ever hear my jeep after I put on the clayton? I had that same muffler.

[Twisty]

No, I did not.

I'm glad you are. Many of the new trails are closer to residential areas now and some of the old regulars are  getting built up around. I just think its something we should all keep in mind. Seeing a muffler being added to your build is a good example.

Flowmaster makes a hushpower as well, which is pretty throaty, smaller case size as well. The 10 series is not quiet by any means, slightly quieter than wide open. It was completely obnoxious in my jeep honestly.

JJ also ran that muffler on his TJ at one time.
