"Silencer" Keeps ATV's Quiet

"Silencer" Keeps ATV's Quiet ATV'S ATV'S 27-6-18 "Our new ATV muffler silencer reduces the noise level of an ATV by more than half. It's designed for hunters and anyone else who wants a quieter ride," says Tammy Turner about the Benz Silent Rider. The Silencer measures 3 1/2 in. sq. by 18 in. long and hangs from the rear rack on two rubber-coated hooks. It simply slides over the end of the muffler and is held in place by two bolts. "Some ATV models will need an adapter that welds onto the muffler, which we can supply. The silencer then bolts onto the adapter," notes Turner. "Although you can still hear the engine, it takes most of the popping noise out of the exhaust," says Turner. "Hunters, forest rangers, game wardens, and police departments like it. We've even sold some units to the military," says Turner. "It's designed strictly for ATV's equipped with 4-stroke engines, not for racing bikes." According to company tests, the muffler silencer has only a slight effect on the ATV's performance. It reduces the ATV's top speed by about 1 mph and results in a 2 percent gain in back pressure. The unit fits most Honda, Yamaha, Polaris, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Polaris Ranger ATV models. Units for Arctic Cat and other ATV models may soon be available. Sells for $149 plus $11.95 S&H, except for the Polaris Ranger which sells for $159 plus $11.95 S&H.
