My plans are to provide 3 Stages to the One Bad Rhino Hush Kit. I will be offering Stage 1 first, which will take the biggest chunk of noise out of the Rhino and it will include the following. If you already have the Benz Silencer then you can order just the kit. 1 Benz Silencer (Manufactured by Benz Silencer) and is an Option to One Bad Rhino Hush Kit 1 One Bad Rhino Hush Kit Sound and Vibration Mitigation Technology If you want to learn more about a quiet Rhino, ask questions, or chat about the Hush Kit, please use this forum. http://utilityoffroad.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13574 Well this should do it for now. Feel free to ask questions and email me. The One Bad Rhino Hush Kit™ is must for the military once they get their Rhinos. I have some preliminary results from my hush kit mod and let me caveat this with...the conditions were not even close to optimal/normal Rhino use conditions, but it will give you an idea. It was on my trailer in between the house and a fence so there was extra noise rebounding all over the place. The trailer is on concrete. But I will give it to you anyway. I compared it to my cars, both of them were outside also and sitting on concrete in front of my house so you have some idea. I am excited if you can't tell my quest for quiet Yamaha Rhino has produced a neat product... Vehicle | Right side db | Left side db | Front side db | Back db | My Rhino (w/Hush Kit) | 81 db | 82 db | 78 db | 85 db | 2003 Toyota Tacoma | 74 db | 75 db | 73 db | 74 db | 2001 GMC Yukon XL | 71 db | 71 db | 72 db | 69 db |
All measurements were taken at 3 feet from the vehicles. The trucks are stock! The vehicle were at idle. Because I was limited on space 3 feet was the maximum distance I could plausibly measure due to space. I will tell you the further I got from the Rhino both in the front and the back the db's started dropping off! If you see "I" a lot that is because I am working alone. Trust me in the Texas heat I have a little blood and lots of sweat and tears from the sweat and now some big smiles! |
