Has anyone had experience with the Hartman quiet muffler? I like their advertised noise level of 1 decible more than stock. Noise is a high priority in our area. Anybody with experience with Bender or White Knuckle or any other brand that is noise friendly, let me know how they work or if you wouldn't buy again. I can't find anyone who knows anything about any of them. I would like the less weight and the 4 more horsepower but need stock type noise. Thanks. Enticer

You won't be getting any more horsepower, and I doubt that you'll ever notice the weight difference. The only time you'll notice a weight difference is when you do EVERYTHING.

Personally gutted mine, it's not too loud like everyone's concern. Yes it is louder. PM Mr. Sled, Tom's got one of those systems he was going to be doing up a write up on, forget which one, but he did have it installed on the first TY ride.

I bought the quiet system from Hartman. He gets them from White Knuckle Performance. I like it. Saves 11lbs. If you’re an mtn rider you will notice the weight difference. The sound is more authoritative then stock but not obnoxious sounding like the piped 2 strokes.

here are a couple vids of the bender pipes in action from last weekend, they are beefy sounding but once your used to it, riding a stocker feels like your on a vacuum cleaner, i could never go back. ps the vids are big (3mb) aprox.
