I am looking for a silencer to reduce muffler noise.  Any recommendations that is a goof fit for a DIY project.

Be more a case of who actually makes for your model? Looks like Supertrapp do, but I bet it won’t be quiet!

These off-road machines have a spark arrestor gizmo so we don't set fires. You will be denied access to state and federal trails without one if they detect its absence.

So you can't put a silencer over the existing tail pipe that includes the spark arrestor?  If so what would be the problem.   If I can reduce 6 decibels is that noticeable.  I hate doing 30mph and I can't have a conversation with my partner in my Kymco.

I would think a better actual muffler with spark arrestor would be available but you gonna have a lot of mechanical noise right between you.
