Hi all,
running 2l zetec with focus manifold to single downpipe, using zx10 bike silencer, car is quiter, looks better (than my previous locost attempt) but i think/ feel it may be restictive, looked inside silencer, seems it may have a cat???, can not see through silencer, would i be better off getting straight through silencer, ?? noise ? etc, any locost ideas,

thanks Andy

I have used the tubular manifols and had a stainless pipe made which I have welted onto it. I have fitted a standard can Made by Martin Keenan MK Engineering sounds ok and not restrictive
