I purchased a new 2024 Polaris Xpedition XP5 Northstar, while waiting on it to be built and shipped to the dealer, I watched a ton of videos showing how noisy they were and what a few people did to try and remedy that. I had some Fat Mat brand sound deadening material left over from another project, I installed it inside the cab, and outside the cab above the engine. I also cut 1/2" high density rubber stall mats for the floor boards. it helped out a lot but still has some engine rpm noise.

I have the XP 2 door Northstar, it's a shame that Polaris didn't do a much better job with the noise. I've clutched mine and it's better, but still working with Speedwerx to improve their kit functionality. I also added quite a bit of sound deadening materials.

I agree, at this price point we shouldn't have to do upgrades to improve the sound. I'm pretty happy with the results I got from my sound deadening. My next steps are to either do the factory clutch rework, or get an aftermarket clutch kit, then get 32" or 33" tires.

@@siliskielandmanagement120 I have 32" Tusk Terrabites. I honestly would just do the free Polaris clutch upgrade, I wouldn't waste money on a kit.

Nice work. Does anyone make an aftermarket muffler for these machines? A quieter version? Seems to me like a lot of the noise is muffler noise.

Aftermarket Assassin's makes an exhaust system with a quiet core option. Supposedly makes it quieter. I'm. Ot sure if I want to try that option yet or not, we go to Northern Wisconsin riding the trails and I habe heard they are a little stricter on Modified exhaust systems up there.

Get the heavier weights polaris offers. It’s free. Way better. Like way better and no noticeable power change. Your muffler guard will start to peel soon on the bottom right. 800 miles on my xp5. The ride and stereo are unreal

I just did the comfort clutch from Polaris last Friday. I put 33" system 3 tires on it also. these two things along with the sound proofing I have done have made a huge difference. I can't wait to take it to the trails in Northern Wisconsin and see how it does up there. It is great on our property and riding around our area but those are pretty smooth roads, and relatively smooth trails.
