Here it is everyone!!!!!
DNR came over Friday night, setup all the equipment, precisely measured and took readings at idle and at the 2,500-2,800 engagement.... Results are in and the Evolution Powersports muffler passed decibel readings both times tested!!!!!
So, now Evolution Powersports has a decibel approved, trail approved and 11 horsepower true gain muffler that is all stainless steel, is less weight, looks incredible, sounds amazing and allows you to retain the original heat shield while still allowing access to your chaincase!!!!! What is there not to love about this muffler!!!!!
For all who are wondering about the DNR and the questions asked....here it goes....
I asked can exhaust be changed?
You are allowed to modify/change your exhaust.....as long as it meets the decibel limit. The SSCC is what all manufacturers have to go by for manufacturing standards.... it does not affect the consumer who buys a sled and wants to modify/alter/change the exhaust....as long as it meets decibel requirements. This is right from the DNR agent and I have the paperwork.
I asked how they figure out who to pull over and under what circumstances?
Usually when they are sitting in their vehicle, they can hear sleds coming and if they have their radio playing at a certain loudness, they can pick out the loud ones vrs. the regular sleds. Their key focus is on the high sounding 2 strokes (the Agents words).
The 4 strokes are much quieter and really aren't pulled over unless it's very apparent that the exhaust has been tampered with.
I asked under any limitations, are there any warnings that will be given to repair/replace the exhaust if not per the decibel reading?
In most cases, the information is taken and if it is the owners sled, everything is current like license, registration, no warrants, no alcohol and just not being a douchebag, the DNR can make a choice of giving a ticket or a warning.
