Exhaust bits..

[ben711200]

Afternoon all,

I've gone and swapped the Mazda I put on the road 3 weeks ago for something a little larger ;D

It has a Jetex exhaust at the moment but it's not exactly in one piece.. I'm not into power and noise, but I do like the look of a side exit, and I'm competent enough with a welder to bodge stuff together ;D..

So, what I need is to find a relatively cheap silencer that flows well enough for a 2.3 litre engine and isn't so big that I'll catch it on everything I go near.. Can anyone suggest anything? or know of any good suppliers?

Cheers all

They do, but I'd rather go about it in a more resourceful fashion. I'll have enough bits to sort the side exit but I just need to find a suitable sized/shaped/priced silencer that will do the job relatively competently

skip diving at the local fast fit ? might find a clean silencer

This is a good point, might get a few extra bends to make it easier too.. I know the manager of a kwik fit nearby *mind whirs a little* ;D

How different are front/centre silencers to rear ones? the seem more compact but I reckon two inline would provide a reasonable balance of sound and quietness..

all cars vary alot...id have a rumage and grab what looks in good order and take it from there

^^ agree

just made up a rear section for our 114 merc with scrap sections from my local garage, took three atempts to get it quiet enough and sufficiently tucked out of harms way. Deffinately the way to go, as long as you're prepared to perhaps not get it right first time!
