Do these work or are they not man enough to keep a proper car quiet?

I need something cheap to keep my neighbours happy while I get my motor up and running and thinking of a cheap bike can then swapping over to a proper solution at a later date. But wondered if they could work long time.

I have a suzuki bike can for sale cheap its in my archive its a bit scuffed and would need a pipe welding to the back but easy enough to sort and would tone down the noise what motor you running ??

Standard R1 cans are very quiet.

running a CVH for now.

R1 can, gases go into a front chamber, this is then piped towards the back via a couple of tubes, maybe the diameter of a 10p coin to the rear chamber, you then get a couple more little tubes taking the gases to a middle chamber at which point the gases turn back and head through a bigger pipe and out the back.

It will make your car quiet, the second you have a ticket on it open the can, gut all the horrible little pipes and baffles and stick in some perforated tube and wadding, now you have a real can

I have a stock GSXR 1000 on my 1300cc Xflow and love it. Although it is maybe a little too quiet it does make long road trips nice. I don't like to wear earplugs because I want to hear any problems with the engine or suspension. Russ

I have a GsXR 1100 on my 2.0i Pinto, it is quiet on tickover and medium trottle, but sounds like someone being sick at 110dB on full throttle - a very strange noise. I also reckon I am 20bhp down on my old (Passat 19 tdi) silencer

My mate has 2 yoshimura cans on his V6 2.8 XR4i engine. Sounds real nice and isnt overly loud.
