UK made exhaust muffler
UK made exhaust muffler

Hi guys.
I'm running a stock 1600 twin port, single carb engine in my split. I bought a 'stock' exhaust system for it but it's a rubbish fit and quite noisy...
So, thought I'd treat my self (and my bus) and look at options, and quite like the look of the U.K. Made one available from machine 7.
I want super silent! I don't need a performance upgrade, just want nice and quiet?
Thoughts please!
Matt

what do you mean by rubbish fit …my stock exhaust is very quite, I can't hear my engine if pulling up at junctions etc…
that UK one at machine 7 is for a bay….so your rear apron may well need to be hacked / modified
and when it says 'nice sound' does that mean louder sound ?

Don't think you can get quieter than stock. We just put a decent quality one from Coolair (inc 10% SSVC discount) and it slipped straight on and lovely and quiet. Some brass flashed nuts and jobs a good 'un. Always remember don't go for the cheapest in the range
