[QUOTE="VincenttwinPL1, post: 18227, member: 1854"] Thank you all very much for your information! I have an "original" silencer, I think,....as it`s not marked and has been on the bike for a very long time. It`s not restrictive that I have noticed and I`m sure Stuart Metcalfe will back me up there as the bike went very well!! I say "went well", as due to a loose exhaust nut and therfore banging in the silencer on the over run the silencer was damaged and sounded like a tin of nails (my silly fault for not sorting it sooner). At the moment I have fitted a new old stock "cambells" silencer. The bracket is too thin but the main issue for me is the noise, it has a spiral baffle but its just not the same! With the original silencer fitted the bike sounded [COLOR=black][U]"lovely[/U]"[/COLOR] and most people who listened to the bike tick over would say how very nice it sounded, my friend Bob Culver for one! Arrogant, yes, but I have heard lots of Vincents at recent rallys and not one sounded as [I]sweet[/I]. I think I need to take the old silencer apart and find out it`s secret! Call me a "nut" if you like but I want the bike to sound like it was meant to. I`m not interested in fitting a straight through absorption type silencer, to me they make the bike sound rough and extra performance is not important. If I want to go fast I jump on my 140bhp 998s FE Ducati! and thats a bike that does sound great with absorption race cans! Thanks again for everybody`s input! This Forum is a great way to find suff out! Well done VOC! Paul [/QUOTE]
