Does anybody know where to get ones like Vince's, now that Simpson Race Exhaust can't supply? Or like Rob's
I can only find ones like 1283
I bought 2 of these from e bay, but they are sports catalitic convertors,

Merlin Motorsport are agents for Coast Fabrications (US)
There's one of their silencers on this single seater:

What about the well regarded fabricator that Vince used?

Think they're about £250 each!
Brillo pads and a jubilee clip?
How loud is it?
I know scrutineering is indoors, but I doubt noise check will be!

Is that how bad the NHS is now?
Blue Flame also highly recommended to me, but I have'nt bought anything off them yet.
Not car related, but I have had Blue Flame end cans on my supermotos before and they are well made and last longer than most other 'race' cans. Sound GREAT too.

John - what's the jubillee clip for? Is it to stop the wire wool coming out, and if so, how?
You have a PM by the way!

99dBA @ 4000rpm - it gets tested at 4500, and I don't have a clever switch on the tacho to make it over-read, which I understand is de rigeur with modern cars
That should be OK then?
The jubilee clip usually just went round the tailpipe with a couple of strands of wire trapped under it across the opening which held the wire wool inside. Worked on road rallyies, but you only got noise checked at scrutineering in those days...

I always thought it was strange how the jubilee clips always came loose and fell off on the way to the first timed section. ;-)
