Default Reducing exhaust noise

Is there any way of reducing the exhaust noise of a new Robin 35? It's acceptable, but I don't want to attract attention.

If you ever find a way I'd like to know too. I'm going to go deaf from this engine. I don't know how anybody could call this quiet but everyone does. I was expecting it to ba A LOT quieter.

This thread might help you out:

Also, from what I hear (not personal experience) intake noise is a big problem too. This might help out with that:

Unfortunately all 2-stroke info. The Subaru is a 4-stroke.

Staton, it came with a kit. I asked Dave about a quieter muffler, he didn't know of one.

Do you have pics of yer setup? is it mid or rack mounted? There's a plethora of muffler cans available for the lil 4 strokes at most big hardware stores and/or repair shops, while the mount may need to be modified there's potential there.

One of the things that helps with noise is simply exhaust system length, if yer mid-mounted making a header pipe has potential...

I use my Robin Subaru 35cc mainly for down town use. I ended
up adjusting the idle as low as it would go without dieing. I only go
10mph to 15 mph and it is really a quiet engine at the low speeds.

On the other site. "Silvaire" is selling the Robin Subaru engines without a gas tank for $145.
