Murraymint 282 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi Jeff and You could look for a re-packable silencer which may reduce the noise...but plenty people on here should be able to advise... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kit Car Electronics 1,954 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That looks like the original 4.5" can. I had that on a 2l zetec and it was also very loud. Changing for a 30x7" made a huge reduction to the point that the intake is louder than the exhaust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TableLeg 1,328 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You could have a look at the 7" CBS one https://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/7-stainless-steel-exhaust-silencer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Man On The Clapham Omnibus 628 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Wunoff supplied my Pinto exhaust and it passes the 100dBA at MSE track days. It does rattle though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAN_B 2 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi Guys, I have exactly the same problem!! But mine has a Cross Flow.. Gives me a headache! Can a company repack my old can, even though it appears to be a sealed unit currently? Or would a new custom can be a better option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thrustyjust 3,928 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Standard silencers are quite small diameters. I would look at a larger diameter silencer rather than spend money cutting the standard silencer open and repacking. The car builder solution one is really nice and removed the standard system and fitted it and made a more mellow and sensible sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
congorobot 99 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Even with a freshly packed silencer I still always wear ear plugs. http://www.screwfix.com/p/3m-1100-37db-foam-ear-plugs-200-pairs/50346 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
