Has anyone built their own silencers? I have not got much room under the car and without a silencer I wont be able to do track days. |

Sounds like im using exactly the same style bike can as Carl. Looks like it'll fit nicely where the battery box used to be. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Me and will are now using bike cans too. Cheap of eBay and normally repackable. They can normally be easily modified for length too. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Shouldnt be too hard to silence most turbo cars fairly well. There's a place on egay selling a huge range of stainless silencers. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Custom-Exhaust-Pa...sid=p4340.l2563 I bought one for my van a few weeks ago. And despite the picture looking a bit dodgy, I was very impressed with quality and finish which was fortunately not like the item pictured. ( although in my case didnt matter as it wasnt going to be visible anyway ) And it was very cheap too. 9.85 @ 145mph

Be easier just to stick the exhaust out the back like normal and fit a sensible sized silencer lol.
