[QUOTE="Matty, post: 32622, member: 1339"] Hi When I rang Armours yesterday they said that their steel chromed silencers did not have any padding because they could not be chromed with padding in. However because the s/s one was not chromed, it had damping padding, which made it a bit quieter - but I had the impression it was still quite noisy. I am not too keen on the s/s one however due to the straw coloured patina. I'm trying to keep my Comet looking as much like it did when I bought it in 1956 for £150, which is less than VOCSC want for their silencer !! Although I have heard tales of Armours systems not fitting, the exhaust pipe I bought four years ago and the later chromed steel silencer fitted really well - though (see above) I found the silencer too noisy on The Comet and sold it to a friend (who is still a friend) with a Rapide. I am presently running on a very smart very noisy but old empty straight through silencer or a tatty quiet one with baffles which results in very flat performance. Seems the Bankers and bureaucrats in Germany are much the same as the ones in UK - better off than most of us because they are in control. Matty [/QUOTE]
