Peter Mears Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 My zetec car was converted using the original silencer from the Xflow, although the can is a larger vauxhall race 7" that I used to kill some of the noise. The car is now popping and banging and I think the can is pretty much shot.( sounds hollow) Can anyone recommend a replacement can the will fit but be a bit better. The front pipe on the silencer is angled not straight. The system is 4 into 1 and I only want to change the silencer at this point. Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Get power speed or Hayward & Scott to make you one. Better than trying to match on up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Or call James whiting - he has my old vauxhall silencer that I had on a x-flow system so should be same as yours. Make him an offer for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Mears Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 So just as an update and for info for anyone else with this original conversion. The 7' cans that Caterham sell are now 2 1/4" inlet where as mine is only a 2' , this was so as to use the original Xflow box. After chatting with JW I have decided to get the can from Caterham and use an expansion piece between the collector and silencer. This keeps thing standard and a local exhaust guy will expand a bit of pipe and either weld or clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Why don't you just cut the end off, re pack the system and get the end bit sleeved so it will go back together with some bolts, easy to re pack next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
