Honda0105 0 Posted October 15, 2021 What is the best exhaust for a 99 Honda foreman 450 S. Would like something that is quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcsman 1,409 Posted October 15, 2021 Welcome to the forum, are you looking for something besides the stock exhaust? I know to order an OEM muffler for that model is over $1,000 so if you need something I don't blame you for shopping. I still have stock on mine so will be interesting what options there are when I need it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,751 Posted October 15, 2021 Stock is best. Of course, they're $$$ now too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THH 297 Posted October 18, 2021 I got lucky recently and found this oem muffler on e-bay for my 2000 450S, $220.00 including shipping. I installed it this past Saturday, quiet again and no more rattling! I cut the end off of my old one and may try to repair it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
