Actually I believe it is a different engine, since it is about 5 HP less. I bought one and am very happy. I also thought about trying to make my 2013 quieter.

My '15 from Carts and Clubs is fairly quiet; they add an insulation package to every cart they sell that does quieten the carts down.

My 2013 was from carts and clubs, and it was fairly quiet. But my new one from carts and clubs is remarkably quieter. We have a electric Club car and this one, we've decided to get rid of the electric now since this is so quiet. Carts and clubs still does extra insulation and several other things that are different from the Villages. I would recommend that one compares the two and make your own decision as I did. Drive them at both locations. One of the things i liked was Carts and Clubs does the seat belt with a shoulder harness which the Villages doesn't Do (option). I also did the Radial tires which the Villages didn't do until a few weeks ago. The tires make a big difference in ride.

That does not sound right. The standard engine is 11.4 HP. 5HP less would be a reduction of 44%. Perhaps it is .5 HP less? If the muffler is a new design and quieter it might have more baffling. I have seen the new encasement of the muffler. If under all that suitcase type cover is new baffling to the muffler itself that probably means more exhaust back pressure thus a reduction in HP not necessarily a new engine.

It is almost certainly the same basic engine. The bore and stroke are the same. The stuff hanging off of it, such as the exhaust system, may be a bit different.

That is significant. Any specs published like the car manufacturers 0 - 60 mph - in this case 0 - 20 mph. With that kind of HP lose one would think it's more than noticeable. It has to be an absolute dog unless something else has compensated for that kind of power reduction i.e. 22%. An aside 11.4 to 8.9 is a 2.5 HP difference not 5.

Traded my '13 Villages store EFI for the '17 C & C Quiet Tech. Maybe a little slower from a dead stop. I'm not sure because I'm so busy enjoying the quiet and lack of stink that I'm actually considering replacing the electric RXV we used to fight over to see who got to take to the course instead of the noisy stinker '13 gas.

The 2017 Yamaha does not have the fast jerky initial movement of earlier models.
