    I sold the Akrapovic Evo system that has been on my bike since March, so today I refitted my standard RRW system. I made a weird silencer back in January to test some zorst theories and I fitted it today.
    It's about 600mm long, 63 mm diameter with a 35mm perforated tube baffle. Currently packed with stainless wire wool. I know it looks odd , but bare with me, it will be modded over the coming days/weeks. Opinions greatly appreciated and orders taken , should you see summat you like.
    So here is weird can 1;

    I would be a bit worried about cladding with wire wool, ferrous wool is highly combustable, is stainless not the same??

    Cheers mate, it's only a first attempt for now. It will get shorter, quieter and possibly fatter?

    I'm loving this Megs. At some point in the past, before we could just crib from data sheets, this must be how the relationship between how an engine breathes in and out must have been investigated.

    I don't understand any of it but will still follow your progress with interest mate.

    What about an inline baffel mate under the motor like the RaceFit and dare I say that NASTY TM? Looks interesting so far chap.

    I did a load of mods to the headers with these K5 headers with EPA valve cut out and rewelded then fitted to a K9 GSX750 that had a built in cat but this shows the second baffel under the motor/arm
