exhaust advice and tyres.

[daniel smith]

The exhaust on my hpc 2.0 Car is very heavy. Does anyone know if there is any reason why I should not modify a carbon motorbike can/silencer to fit my car. Is there any downsides?

 

Does anyone know if I can get Yoko 032 (for 8" 5 spoke wheels) in size 215 x 60 x 13 or 205 x 60 x 13 which safely fit the 8" rear wheels.

With an HPC I guess you don't have to worry about a cat, so the only consideration with a bike can is whether it can silence enough. If it can, go for it!

 

205/60 is a common size rear for sevens, there is a 215 but it's 50 profile. See here.

I think you'll struggle to find any A032's now...

 

The bike can thing is really about how loud you want your exhaust. I have a Westfield Megablade and am ditching the bike silencer to put a Raceline whopper on there. It'll weigh more and cost me a fortune but it's the only way to get efficient silencing. The Honda/Yamaha OE systems are very restrictive - which is why all the bikers fit race cans.

Thanks for info. Any other recommendations as to a sticky road tyre with 60ish profile( for gearing) which will fit a 8x13" rears.

apparantley 032's are back, they fit 8.5 or 8" rears in 205 60 13 section. My hpc has an SBD titanium can with is a lot lighter then the standard trum one, although modifications were required to collector as it is a2.75" bore, sounds good, gives about 98dB9 recorded at combe. , so depends how load you can go.
