FMF "Q". It's still a Turbine Core but about 6 " longer then the standard TCII and very quiet.

I'm sure it will sound like it too....
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

If HP is no bug deal, a spark arrester is usually the quitest out there.

A FMF Q and a thick walled Gnarly pipe with a carbon fiber pipe guard will keep the bike fairly quiet. Thats whats on my 500.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.
