Has anyone used one on the BigRed. I am thinking of buying one in the next couple days. Any suggestions?

I was wondering the same thing. What one are you looking at?

Not real sure, the benz (spelling) looks pretty good.

That's the same one I was looking at getting.

My wife is researching it and will buy it for me for my birthday.

Well I got the Benz silencer put on. It does make a big difference at lower throttle settings. I will let you decide, here are two videos I shot.

Are you happy with it. Any pictures of how you have it installed?

Yes very happy with it, it is a quality kit and very easy to instal. I don't have any pics of the install, but all you do is remove the outlet on the muffler, with the 3 bolts. The kit comes with new bolts (just be carefull I messed up and had to weld mine in place). Afther the adapter is bolted in place of the exhaust tip, than it is just pushed together and two bolts are put in on the lower part of the frame. The silencer is in a great location, protected from everything, and not in the way of the dump bed. I have no complaints about the kit.

Thanks for the vid, I want/need mine BR quieter...can you take pics of it?

Can you tell us how much the cost and a supplier.

I've went to the local TSC (tractor supply co.) and bought small tractor muffler then had a 'S' pipe made to slide on the 1 inch nipple I welded on my ranchers end muffler.. the muffler attaches to the back rack. All done for $51 and I dont see why it wouldn't work on my BR but they rusted out fast because of condinsation.

This is the one I have, not sure where my wife bought it from. I am offshore right now, so can't post pics for a few more days at best. I think the total cost was around 200 bucks, but it is well thought out kit, and is out of the way of everything.
