Got it home & ran it on stand. WAAAAAY too quiet! I was going to wait until broken in & everybody test all the products, but i don't think i'll wait. And the chain tensioner? FA GETTA BOUT IT! I just need to keep reading this site even MORE than i am now to make my mind up who's exhaust to use. I've got 1 month then i'll order. I see some are running there products on snow so maybe we'll have more info soon. Some products (not on this site) have had their product out for some time & that just can't be fully tested. So i'll choose TTY vendor. Plus, if i buy from TTY vendor Mr Sled will like me more. It's called "brown nosing"

First thing I thought when I started mine was "this might be the quietest sled I have ever heard" then I hit the gas and it got quieter!

I dont know. That Livingstons video in head to head the stock Sidewinder/Thundercat sounds the best to me. Like a Stealth Jet! Piped one sounds almost like the tractor sound of old Cat Turbo with exhaust. Even those sounded cool from a distance wide open with stock exhaust. Could hear the Turbo.

Agreed 100%
I like to hear the sled, but too much noise really wears me out and takes the fun out of riding for me.

Lotsa folks want to go after loud sleds and close trails, but no one says #*$&@ when a Harley goes by!?!

30 plus years I never had a trail closed I ride on. The land owners I have talked to are more pissed off with kids that go off trail and destroy crops!

Maybe I've been riding Ski Doo for too long but I think these Yamahas sound great right out of the box.

Land Owners can't close the road because something is loud. However they can and do close their land off...Pure BS! We have loud car and bikes everyday on the road that drive past are houses everyday.
