Silencers and rubber manifold issues

[Matt Hale]

Armours do downpipes in stainless, Keihan or Armours will do you a set of silencers. Probably cost the same as a Mdina set.

However, I have three sets of downpipes going spare. Not the best, but serviceable.

Problem is distance. I will be in Orxfud area on Friday and same again and Buckinghamshire in August if appropriate. Gis a PM if interested.

Thanks MM- I'll DM you.

Hi Matt.

I have a pair of chrome Sito silencers that I would be willing to part with. (See photos). Some very light pitting on the surface and some light rust inside but not enough to worry about.

As George 350 said, you can end up chasing your tail with 'universal' silencers and once you've sorted out reducers (and some sellers are incapable of measuring things properly) you may end up with something that looks rubbish and is just as loud as the system you already have. The Armours silencers look nice but are a fair bit louder than standard.

I don't have the clamps and mounting brackets for these silencers, but if you can source the stock downpipes and fittings, these silencers will fit straight on, will look the part, and will be no louder than any standard 3 1/2 Morini.

The silencers are located in Warwickshire and I'm not keen to post them but would be willing to meet you at the M40 Oxford Services to hand them over. Price-wise I'd be looking for £120 the pair at Oxford or £100 the pair collected from Warwickshire, postcode CV8. Let me know if you are interested. Here are the photos...

Hi Jen- this is a kind offer- I will DM you.

I have sent a message directly to you here but not sure it has gone as seems to still be in Outbox still...not sure why...you may get two as I tried again...

Hi Matt,
Tightening the carb rubbers: Personally I nip mine up just enough to prevent the rubber moving on the stub.
I assume that you have the plastic sleeves between the rubber and worm drive clip? Part number 32.01.32? (Item 26 on the parts fiche.) If not, depending upon type of worm drive clip used, the clip can 'cut' into the rubber causing early failures.
As for the exhaust, have you thought of one of the generic 'dB killers' in the end of your pipe? A lot cheaper than a new system! The worst thing about 'universal' silencers is they are usually made for around 45mm pipes with step down sleeves for smaller pipes. The 350 Morini has 32mm pipes, so the joint usually looks awful. Also I doubt a 'silencer' for £30 or so is going to do a lot of silencing, but I could be wrong. My own experience is Morinis need some back pressure to work at their best, but everyone may have a different opinion on that.
Hope this helps,
George

Thanks George- Good tips on the rubbers- I will use...I hope to buy Morini Jen's silencers as offered here... and Micky Moto downpipes if poss also...

Hi Matt.

No need to worry. The way it works is that the message stays in your Outbox until the recipient opens it. I have opened it now.

I will send you an email with directions as there is a bit of a trick to finding us.

Jenny.
