Husky, thanks for that. Interesting point about not overpacking the muffler or wrapping the core too tightly, I'll bear that in mind.

Other than that my homemade jobby looks like it should work well based on your diagram.

Thats OK

Dont forget the bend at the outlet of the silencer , this makes a considerable contribution to the noise reduction.

Remember , that with a 70% or greater free area used in the preforated silencer core(large perforations) ,maintenance is greater due to errosion of the absorptive material caused by the high velocity  exhaust gases , prior to blocking of the perforations due the oil entrained in the exhaust gases although the blocking of the larger perforations takes considerably longer or conversely you can use 70% or greater free area  with smaller perforations which will block quicker with less absorptive material errosion. Either way it still requires maintenance.

The larger perforations showed approx. 0.5dba greater noise reduction at 3.0m, which barely perceptable to the normal human ear.

Regular cleaning and repacking will overcome the above issues  keeping the bike relatively quiete

husky61,

Thanks for posting the drawings, any advice for four strokes?

I'd be interested in the info on noise reduction you mentioned in your post if possible.

Looza ... I have drilled the oles out to 6mm and added more of .   4 stroker  ;)
  
            The baffle is 50mm in dia OD (perferated section )with a stub taking it back to 44.5 mm
            6 of 14 dia x 30mm long ( rocket launches ) welded in a group which fits inside the baffle.
            The end cone is 80mm x 51mm , and overall length is 280 long

             Bottom pic showing expanded end that baffle slips into ( 44mm ) inside

Hey Old fart

That silencer looks the goods . I have noticed some of the performance pipes for larger capacity road bikes utilising this method.

Brent , i have a particularly good silencer on my HL , that has little or no effect on the performance of the engine. I didnt make this silencer but i will measure it and PM the detail
