My new custom silencer

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Easy peasy! Although its better to find a pipe bender and bend a bit of pipe to the right shape, rather than using flexy pipe
Flexy all the way :thumbup:

Noooooooooooo

I think I went through 5 lengths of flexy then decided I was wasting my money every time I touched something off road and ripped it apart!!!

It cooked well!

Crack in the block is sealed to the point that it weeps instead of leaks. I am just going to go with the flow!
