I installed a Pro Circuit Plat II with the stock silencer on my 05 200, and my wife says that the bike is louder when I ride around the yard. I'm not sure what the decibel rating is, but it isn't as loud as my neighbors YZ 250 smoker.

Off the pipe, the bike is not any louder than my lawnmower, on the pipe, different story.

It depends on what RPM you are listening at. There is some decibel data online from the California OHV people, here is the link:

They have info on Kawasakis as well as the other brands.

When you rev the bags outta the bike, is it a screamer that hurts your ears?

Just use the stock silencer.... it's quiter, you don't have to repack it and you won't notice any difference in power. Some will disagree, but that's my experience....

I agree, I'm keeping the stock silencer. It would be cool if someone engineered an aluminum version of our stock silencer, packing free and all...
