Mate, the mighty cross flow became the incredibly angry flow at Rockingham on Sunday - it was so fast...... I got a bill from Rockingham for damage to the tarmac caused by my huge torque  :)

Just checked back on Fleabay and the can had ended. Thought you'd bought it and I needed to contact Motad for a cut!

 

The word is most of your 'talk' on Sunday was used up asking for more burgers :d

The catering facilities were very good and I can recommend the bacon rolls, burgers and pork baguettes.   :d

I'm pretty sure it won't effect anyone on this thread, but it is something I should mention for others reading it. (And similar)

 

We all love bargains! Heaven knows I've done my fair share of sourcing equivalent components and buying second hand for the Westfield over the years, and will no doubt do in the future too.

 

But one of those things to keep in mind when building AND having to pass IVA, is that Westfield make a kit and supply parts capable of passing the test. Amongst other reasons, it one, why sometimes their parts are dearer then slightly similar parts elsewhere, (or even identical parts, supplied elsewhere).

 

Don't underestimate this "commitment" the factory gives when you buy a part from them!

 

A quick story! I had one of the first batch of the stainless re packable trackday silencers, they launched eight or so years ago. The one that looks identical to the stainless one in the link!

 

it failed SVA (as it was then) for the radius on the outlet pipe being too small. It shouldn't of, it was a production mistake at the manufacturers, as Westfield had spec'd it to be SVA friendly. The factory offered to swap it with a new one from the next batch, or to get me though a retest, make up an adaptor. I went for the later option, and they rushed me a slot in adaptor with an extra generous rolled lip on it, in double quick time, and at their cost. I duly passed.

 

Not all equivalent parts, supplied direct, come with such assurances. So don't forget to check, it's something that might affect you.

These come up occasionally from Motad on the 'bay and I believe they also supply them to the factory

And yes, unless theirs been a change, Motad do supply the factory. Bear in mind though although still a good saving, the main one the factory sells includes a link pipe as well, I believe.

 

(I only know, because I bought one of the carbon cans a month or so back, and queried why it was a different, (cheaper) price than the normal carbon can. Turned out that it was just the link pipe not being needed on a Honda.

it does, and also the necessary mounting kit and brackets.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've just managed to get hold of the last stainless silencer that Motad had in stock, so I'll let you know how I get on with it. They advised stock is due back in in about a week or so if anyone else is interested.
