[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 32428, member: 433"] I just missed the TÜV (mot) with my Black Flash last friday because of the noise. I have a Goldstar type silencer from Armours fitted to my 600 cc Terry Prince topend kit Comet. she has twinspark ignition and approx. 10:1 cr with the squish band head. the noise was deafening, almost like a Norton Manx with a mega in the paddock. My brothers bike also needed TÜV, so we fitted the old Campbell silencer where the baffles had also disintegrated and his Comet was not much quieter as well. the idea was to say he already had TÜV with this exhaust before and so there would not be too much noise difference between the two bikes. When we fired the bikes up the other TÜV guys came running out of their shed and well be both failed.he then fitted back the new ( we have two types of these, this one is the one with a bigger maybe 1/2" hole down the middle) spiral baffle silencer which muted the bike a lot and lost the grunt of his bike. I spoke to Armours and they told me that all their silencers are made without any wadding! this really surprised me as I cannot think of any working absorption type silencer without wadding if for more than 250 cc. Nevertheless the were very helpful and explained to me that the cannot fit wadding to chromes silencers due to their processing, but they can certainly do with s/s ones. If I was you, try getting one of the TOGA straight through absorption type ones, maybe second hand. they are noisier than the spiral ones, yet still not antisocial and without the baffles disturbing the flow your engine can breathe properly and will lose very little at all. you can also ask Armours to built you the same type from stainless, but then you have to live with the yellowish straw colour the silencer will have after its first blast. cheers Bernd [/QUOTE]
