Is there any way to reduce intake noise from the airbox?
I have an '05 DE 300 (thanks firfighter,) just thought I'd see how quiet I can make it. I had a silencer from a KDX lying around. It fit well after removing a couple of mounting tabs.
Now the exhaust noise is minimal, and I was surprised at the lack of mechanical noise - at least compared to the KDX that rattles like it's about ready to come apart! (it is not.)
The loudest and most annoying noise now is from the airbox - when you accelerate hard, the low "BWAAAA" sound coming from that area is actually quite loud. I don't know if this is technically from the carburetor taking air in, or having the slide opened so that engine noise can come back out.
So I'm back to my original question - is there any way to reduce the intake noise?
Thanks,
Jeff
