Thanks Marcus, I know what you mean, modern scooter exhausts they are incredibly complicated with several boxes, cones, bulges ect, obviously designed to squeeze every last drop of performance out of the machine.I on the other hand will be grateful if the Inter just goes! On my first inter I used a silencer from a mkC Bond minicar which was a straight through job with a bit of fibre glass wadding around the pipe, the car ran very well on it , I guess the pipe its self must create some back pressure, so maybe im worrying about nothing. I fitted the P200 silencer this afternoon and it runs fine with it, very quietly really, but of course I will not know about performance till its on the road and that wont be for some time. So far I have only fitted two non original parts to this car, the silencer and the other is a whacking great 6volt Optima battery mounted under the rear seat, originaly they had a small motorcycle type battery but such is the nature of the gyrostarter that if the engine doesnt start by the third try the battery is as flat as a pancake! I think this Optima would start a real aeroplane! That fancy dress car show you went to sounded a real hoot! Regards, Bob P.
