The .35 Yokozuna moderator for my .30 cal Red Panda is too loud. Need recommendations

For any 'Red Panda .30 shooters who want to know what the quietest Donny FL moderator works the best is.....................

The winner is the DL Emperor ! The DB level is about 1/3 of the Yokozuma. It's not mouse fart quiet, but is a very big improvement!

I was very disappointed how the Yokozuma sounded which was very loud. I shot next to some 22 rim fire guys and we both sounded the same. Loud as hell.

Thanks to Sandy at AIRGUNDIRECT.COM, I was able to exchange the Yokozuma for the Emperor with no hassle. I just needed to pay the difference in price.

I think the size of the Emperor compliments the looks of the RD since it looks similar to the 2 air tanks in the rear.

I can't attest to the Ronin on the red panda, but it does a good job on the Texan .457 I have. It also has an extension available that I think is 6" long by the same diameter as the Ronin to help with the noise. The downside is 12" of extra length :(
I can attest to the length increase on the .457 Texan as I also have an extenson with the Emporer. This rifle is SUPER long. Almost reach out and just poke the target insted of shooting it.

LOL not a bullpup for sure! Even with the airforce lss setup it's still like pointing a javelin :D I have gotten used to shooting it from my trigger stick, but no go for real brushy Dence cover.
