Quieter Muffler???

I would like my RTV900 to be less noisy. I also want to avoid all the spark arrestor issues mentioned here on other threads. Is there an after-market muffler that will safely make my Kubota quieter? Or has anyone been able to add a second auxillary muffler behind the OEM unit (and throw away the spark arrestor altogether)? Thanks, Dave</p>
 
is there anyway you can post some good picutres of the rear end i bet i could try and make some thing that would make the rtv alot quieterbeing there isn't one out there yet . it would be a interesting thing to make. infact i would like to expriement with my rhino too.</p>
 
Our RTV is one of the last ones that had the spark arrestor at the end of the muffler. That beingsaid, I can say that I couldn't tell no difference in the sound when I removed and discarded the thing >>>>

Personally, I believe the engine makes more noise than the muffler, or atleast on our it does...... I don't ever hear the muffler, it's really quiet !!! But we do hear the " rattling " of the Kubota engine !!!! And much of it went away when I installed the sliding back glass on the machine !!!!! ( Also quieted down the high rise intake suction noise ) </p>
 
As mentioned, I too found that most of the noise is from the engine and not from the exhaust. I ordered sound dampening foam from McMaster Carr and glued it under the bed and on the side plates next to the engine. It helps.</p>

Pictures were posted here on the forum but that was a couple of years ago and I do not know if they are still on.</p>

I'll also chime in, that I don't see that changing the muffler will make a dramatic difference. </p>

Thanks, Guys for all the thoughtful replies. I think that I will accept that my Kubota is simply a noisy rig for now. I'm glad that I didn't run out and purchase an after-market muffler. Some things are best left alone.....</p>
