I thought I once read on TOTV that there was a product you could have installed on the motor, to silence the noise. Does anyone have any info on such a product? Anyone out here smart enough to engineer one? (I'm not, unfortunately.)

Mick, first the caveat --- I don't know diddly squat about automotive mechanics.

Now --- there's a small exhaust (I think) pipe that comes straight down out of your motor. I think it's got a small bend at the bottom to send the fumes toward the back. I've heard that if you attach a longer pipe that reaches the rear of the cart, it will quiet it somewhat, and push the fumes away from the seat area.

Comments from you smarter folks??? :shrug::shrug:

THANKS for the suggestions. I'm pre-planning at this stage, won't be relocating till a year from now. I will investigate as I get closer to the move.

yeah, I believe a better muffler with longer exhaust pipes will help.
Also, someone suggested using premium gas on another thread, says it helps the exhaust quite a bit.
