[QUOTE="Matty, post: 32571, member: 1339"] Hi All The saga continues. These are some of the things I have found out in the last day or so. Armours steel plated silencer is straight through absobtion type - very noisy but good quality - more noisy it seems on a Comet than a Rapide. Armours stainless silencer is also a straight thro' absorbtion type but with some damping wadding - will still be noisy but hopefully quieter than the steel one. Price £75/£80 + Vat VOC spares state that their silencer is NOT now the same pattern one which had breaking up problems a few years ago and is now very long lasting. It is a spiral baffle, made to their specification, fairly quiet, plated steel silencer and has been developed and properly tested on a dyno for good performance. I get the impression it is still a little noisy and a little power is lost with the damping but they have tried to make the best compromise. Unfortunately it is rather expensive at around £145 +Vat Most of the others as far as I can see, seem to be either very noisy, poor quality or very restrictive if spiral baffle. I shall be delighted to be corrected on this view if anybody has found anything better, which still looks simular to the original Burgess fitted by the factory. Matty [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
