Quieting a 2 stroke

[simpleton7016]

Are there any ways to quiet a 2-stroke engine beyond a new muffler? Perhaps a longer tail pipe, bigger muffler? Other?

I have a couple silencers that came off a 2 stoke odyssey fl350.

Best way I know is turn the key off. That may be only way.

No seriously, coosaridgerider is right. I have hear some pretty quite 2 stoke and I think its all in the muffler/silencer design. Im not sure how to do it on a tiger but there is also that sound insulation padding you can get to block it in the engine compartment. Being front engine may not help though.

My brothers attex is quiter then mine because he has a hood. My engine isnt covered on my 208tt and it make it a lot louder.

OR pull it out and drop in a 4 stroke. worked for me

What kind of 4 stroke did you put in? I have a couple of 16 horse briggs single cylinders, but they exhaust to the wrong side. I wouldn's know where to start as far as motor mounts either....

I tried to look at your profile but its not filled out. What machine do you have? Just curious.

im not quite to this stag with my attex, but with everyone chiming in i figure this would be a good time to find out.

i'm curious about a reasonably priced muffler/silencer that would quite down my two stroke by a great deal. brand? and model?

thanks

Sorry Larry, I updated my profile. I have Terra Tigers.

Thanks for filing your profile out Simpleton,
The only tiger I ever drove had a 8hp briggs in it. I cant remember the exhaust at all. I bet it was just a normal engine mounted muffler though. I do remember the motor wasnt in there right and the motor was not straight.
