[Mk2] [Turbo] issue finding silencer for 3" kakimoto exhaust

Post by burn »

First of all, sorry for cross posting, but it seems as if there's not that flow in the "items wanted" category ;)

So, here's the issue:

does anybody know where I can get a 3" silencer which is short
enough to fit this exhaust bung? The problem with most of the
silencers is that they're way too long to go with that bend of the pipe..
In addition, I don't think that its that effective letting the airstream
cannon into the silencer's small tube sideways. Do you know what
I mean? :D

It's a Kakimoto exhaust, by the way..

edit: To clarify that, I just drew a sketch :D

thanks!

do you mean this one?

Could possibly work but am I too daft to calculate? I can only find HKS silencers in 96 and 120mm. 3" are 76,2 mm.. So where's the mistake?

Nah I forgot to mention that the tail piece's got a bigger aperture.. the tail piece is welded to the real pipe which actually has 3"...

Would be interested if anyone knows a good place to get a 99mm bung of simmilar design for my fujitsubo. It even has a bolthole for one but apparently fujitsubo dont sell them separately.
