Exhaust.
I posted in 'Wanted' for ideas for a road-legal, in terms of decibels, exhaust, as the current megaphone which came with it most definitely would not be! I am not saying I want to put it on the road, but to be able to fire it up at home without falling out with the neighbours would be good! That is some way off yet, for sure, but I am exploring ideas. John W. suggested the Armours high-level Scottish exhaust system. However, 350biker commented that they are very loud. I have heard that too, the reason apparently being that they use no sound deadening material, fibreglass wadding or whatever, relying simply on a perforated baffle tube.
The Scottish project came with that system fitted, although I don't think it is an Armours one. It may even be original, but unlikely, after 59 years. Having cleaned it up sufficient to be cosmetically reasonably presentable and usable, I removed the perforated baffle tube from the tail end of the silencer, with a view to decoking. Inside the silencer are welded a series of 4 round baffles along it's length, with a centre hole just over 1 1/2" diameter, the first being 5" from the silencer outlet. A 6" x 1 1/2" perforated baffle tube fits in, retained by a nut and bolt. This clearly only passes through the first baffle by 1". When I withdrew it some very mucky deadening material fell out. Clearly that can only be inserted into the end 'chamber', through which the baffle tube passes. Is it possible to insert that wadding into your Armours system, 350biker?
