Default Exhaust silencer options
What is the general consensus on exhaust silencers?
I've seen a few people using bike silencers and that seems like a good idea but I have no Idea what type of bike, engine size it would need be from.
I will have a cat fitted so hopefully that will lower noise a tad.
Any ideas?

Oh it's a 1.8 zetec on standard injection

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).

Haha that's an odd description.
I don't need one just yet, just no idea what to look for and bike silencers go very cheap

Probably escaped from somewhere in a white jacket that tied at the rear.

I would suggest and 1000CC bike, preferably with a single can should be pretty good. I used a GSXR K4 1000 on mine, due to paranoia I added a DB killer before and after the can - only 92DB at IVA, although it seems a bit louder since they fell out
