Default Make my ZZR250 a bit quieter!

This may sound strange to some but I recently purchased a 1992 zzr250 and I
was wondering is there any way to make it quieter. Its a great bike but in my estate there are a number of newly born babies and I dont want to wake them up every morning. Any help would be appreciated.

but just need to hush it down a bit! Too lazy to push

maybe a new pipe that has a removable insert to keep it quieter...the pipe you have now is probably shot...

buy a scooter and park the bike out of the neighborhood?

Even with straight pipes a 250 isn't THAT loud...

Default New exhaust for zz-r250

Right Ive had a good look at the exhaust (only bought the bike last week)
Theres a lot of rust on it so I reckon it's probably gotten a bit broken up over
the years. Can anyone tell me where i could possibly get a replacement?
