Good call Justin after more research it does seem like it is just for the 2 strokes. And yep like they said that's just the baffles your seeing. You should really see about patching that hole. Its a lot cheaper than replacing the muffler :thumbup:

My problem is I have to keep the cart as quiet as possible because very few campgrounds around here allow gas carts. I am actually gonna put an old charge port on mine and move the choke knob to the dash in hopes of pulling a fast one on them. I have yet to hear of an aftermarket muffler that was more quiet than the stock. If yall have any ideas on making it quieter I'm up for ideas :thumbup:

So Curti, Plowmans says " All of our exhaust systems will increase horse power, have better acceleration and have a quiet but interesting exhaust note. "

What does that mean? Is it louder? If so, how much louder? I assume it sounds 'cool'!

I am in the same boat. Cannot have a loud cart, or the campground owners will get pizzed.

You can barely hear it.
That and the bigger jet definitely helped.
Great bottom end and mid range

But compared to a stock muffler is it louder????? I would hate to have to turn the stereo way up to drown the sound of the motor...... Wait no I wouldn't :lhmo::lhmo::lhmo:

Oh and I decided today was a good day to tackle the underside of the cart. Check to see how bad the rust was and make sure there wasn't any wiring issues. This is a pic after passing a wire wheel, a couple of welds, cleaning up the wiring, and prime and paint. Nothing but surface rust except the battery box. Totally rotted out.

I would say the gravel under the tires, makes more noise than the exhaust
