[QUOTE="Matty, post: 32483, member: 1339"] Thanks again - but so far nobody seems to have found a silencer which looks like the original, is fairly quiet, gives good performance, and lasts a reasonable time on a Comet. The Armours one I bought was VERY noisy on my Comet, but seems quieter now fitted to my friends Rapide - I think this must be due to the Rapide engine generally being run at smaller throttle openings and so sounding quieter with less "crackle" where each cylinder is doing about half the work of the Comet one under the same conditions. However we thought the Armours steel silencer was well made, with good quality chrome and sold at a very competitive price. I gather from above however that Armours stainless silencer is not a spiral baffle one and is therefore probably also very noisy, so this will not help me or others with simular problems.
