I've got tired of waiting for a cheap, as in cheaper than the 750Euro single can pipe that O-T-R.de are flogging, option to appear on the market and freely available in UK, so I found myself a cheap silencer can, and my first mistake.......


But not wanting to waste time, I used the Viper race can for it's footprint, as there is an 'E' marked road legal can available from Viper with the same dimensions and I have one getting delivered on Tuesday.
Anyway, I set to mounting the silencer and plumbing it in so not to foul any of the frame or plastics.....


The link pipe had to be made from cutting the pipe from the standard rear box, a bit of a gamble really, but I had scribbled the measurements on the back of a fag packet, so it must of been right!!!!



Next up was a couple of hours on my lathe, with a collar required to weld on the end of the link pipe, and a slip-on flange to connect it to the silencer....


With the flange slipped on, I tig welded the collar to the link pipe at the correct angle to ensure the silencer didn't foul anywhere....


Everything was going well as I built the back-end up, and with a Viper support bracket, the silencer was held in a perfect position....



And from the rear it looks great....


On the right hand side I plan to fit a tooltube, hanging it of the frame somehow...... I'll sketch it on a fag packet......!

But some further work is needed, firstly it is too loud for the law, though it sounds great, so the legal can will be fitted on Tuesday, and secondly I have made an aluminium tail-tidy bracket that will have a smaller LED stop/tail unit and the indicators fixed to it. This will put the number plate alongside the silencer outlet and the indicators will be above the silencer can.......
I'll update this thread when done....
