Exhaust options thoughts
Fcck2000 - 16/4/14 at 02:33 PM

Hi All,

I'm currently running a Tiger Supercat with the standard fitment silencer, however the dbs on our last outing at Mallory reached 102db.

Been thinking about the exhaust system and wanted to come up with an effective design..

I want straight through baffles rather than anything that might restrict the gasses. Thinking this design which will use the old style cheery bomb type silencers.

What do you guys think?

How about a Vortex silencer?

Saw the Cobra on wheelerdealers get these and passed Iva.

Some other benefits to be had from them as well so ive heard.

Heavy and too many restrictive curves.
What about a larger can with more sound deadening.
Living in the home of the Thrush cherry bomb I have used them since the 60's but only to be heard.

Just looked at those and they are exactly what type of silencer I was thinking, straight through design. I call them cherry bomb I guess they call them Vortex and charge more for it :-)

When I say cherry bomb I'm meaning cherry bomb style, not those old heavy steel painted red ones :-) I was thinking along the lines of Titanium or polished stainless steel.

I understand about how curves can be restrictive but I'm trying weigh up the real pros and cons bends compared to baffles or extra long fat silencers

I honestly believe we would need a 7 inch silencer at least 800mm long to silence our car enough.

This here is exactly what you want: http://www.raceco.com/silencers.html


Ive got one fitted to my R1 powered VortX, and it really reduces the sound. Its very light too

I'm sure it is a great item but sadly well out of my price range for an exhaust silencer.

Mine is about the size of Daveys (ooerr) but not titanium



Not sure where it came from (big_wasa on here built the car).

Mines a 2.0 zetec on bodies (168bhp so certainly not restrictive?). I was tested at Elvington at less than 94db static (3/4 max rpm) and I also never tripped any drive-by monitors either.

Thanks for the replies chaps.

Made me think again about what's going to be best for me. Currently looking at Baffle design to work with single silencer.

Cheers
