Hi guys, just wondering about this, I have seen lots of screamer pipes that are obviously just a bit too loud for a track lol has anyone made a muffler or a silencer for a screamer pipe, or do people either plumb it into the downpipe or leave it unsilenced?
mines unsilenced, and god is it loud!
can\'t imagine it\'d be that hard to make a silencer for them, but would there be any detrimental effect from restricting it?
you would be better off pipeing it in to the exhaust system mate as if you silance it seperatly I think it might affect things!
How far down would I need to route the pipework? I know I don\'t want to mess up the gas flow too close to the turbo exit lol has anyone tried to silence a screamer pipe with a bike can or something?
plumbing it back in will loose you more power than running a seperate silencer

Lost 53ps off the FC when rerouting currently have a seperate muffler. See attached.

You can use the muffler from a scooter, get busy with a welder..
i didnt realise it would make such a big difference?! 53ps!
thats like 10% increase by using a silencer route.
Thats exactly what I wanted to see lol :) awesome, have you got a video of it at all? What can is that from? Im pretty sure thats metal drain pipe you are using for a downpipe lol thats a mental sized downpipe :D
The system is 4\'\', but no drain pipe ;)
Not necasserily 10% Each set up is different, and our loss was with a gentle flow in at the far end of the downpipe. Set ups with a direct 90 deg feed will loose more.
A point to note is that an increase in overall torque is found with both the muffler and the feedback, more with the plumb in though. Torque was increased by 27ftlb throught the curve.

What kind of silencer is that? im guessing it must be quite good to keep up with the crazy rotary temps that it will be under, considering it will be used when the turbo is on full chat lol :D
