IMO silencer is only a term for a device that will reduce the sound of exhaust. This doesn't mean its quieter then OEM. Its term is only indicating it quiets the exhaust system.
Example (db's are made up for example's sake)
Stock exhaust 80db
Strait pipes no cats or mufflers 100db
* this "silencer" could be at 99db - yes it reduces db by 1 but as you can see much louder than it would be OEM.
You see this term a lot with ATV's and 2 stroke engines.
