A roll of rabbit wire

they used to use that at race tracks, one of my fellow marshals tried to kick a roll off the track and it stuck to his boot.

Ive got  a straight thru on the B40 thats going to be very noisy.
if you can, a round disc, with a hole in the middle welded to a tube with a lot of holes around and wrapped with exhaust wadding will be my method possibly with a  hole or thread or nut welded on to hold in place with a bolt from the outside.

since posting i ve seen baffles advertised quite cheap but will try the rabbit wire today. thanks for suggestions.

How about stainless steel scouring pads? You will need to ensure that thay are trapped and not blown straight out.

i managed to fit a roll of wire into the fromt silencer compartment before offset baffle and its made a difference. engine feels more responsive. somehow i need to locate another roll at the rear chamber after the absorption baffle. exhaust back pressure seems to work better. i m using a 260 main jet.

I've tried the removal baffles sold on eBay - load of rubbish.
Why can't anyone make a pattern silencer that is quite similar to the original one?
