Cheapish Silencer Recomendations
bilbo - 9/3/09 at 12:16 PM

I'm looking now to get my exhaust system finished off.
I'm looking to source the main can. It needs to be big enough for the job (2lt turbo) with a 2.5" input, no sharp edges, but at a reasonable price.
I like this CBS one:linky but it's a bit pricey. I did see one of these come up on ebay recently, but it was pulled before I got chance to bid
Anyone know where I might get something a little more locost?
I have seen these generic boxes like this: another linky, but I think they are more a centre box and I'm not convinced they would be quiet enough? Anyone got anything like this fitted?

Thanks
Bill

motorcyle end can? nip to a local bike shop with your tape measure, find a bike with the right dia link pipe, then ebay is your friend.

I did think about bike cans, but I'm a little worried they won't be quite enough - particually with the new noise limits for IVA?

If you get a decent OEM silencer for a blade or similar you should be ok - the bikes have to pass similar noise tests, plus I bet you will have an inline CAT too? Shouldn't that deaden things a bit too?

Yes, I guess the cat is going to help.
I'll have a look and see what there is.

Don't suppose anyone knows which, if any, bike cans have a 2.5" diameter input?
