I,m asking as my exhaust seems a little loud "er"

Thats a good idea Dave, Tho i,d be worried that the wool would blow out just at the wrong moment

My silencer is an old Robin Hood one that I got cheap, only prob is, its not the type that can be taken apart, so might try shoving some wire wool up its jacksy & hope for the best

Like the look of your car OP, bet that drive felt good.
Handyandy, if your exhaust is like the one on my 2b my advise would be to bin it. It is just a hollow chamber, I had to make a tube to go in the xhaust and restrict the flow, you can't add silencer material without having a removable end. I might be able to source you another one the same as mine if that's any good? Mine is off a Caterham, it's fully repackable.

Andy, you're Robin hood silencer defo wont pass IVA.
I used one of those plus an extra short silencer,

I only just scraped through SVA, and the IVA limit is defo lower.

Cheers David,

Yes my silencer is the same as in your photo,
oh well, it only cost me a fiver so not a major loss

Enoch is kindly trying to source me another one
