Kinda Random But My Silencer Went Missing...

[_Ryan_]

so

my neighbours started whinging about my car, so i cabletied my silencer in til i could get an exhaust shop too weld nuts too the inside... figured was a bettter option that getting a complaint to my agent.

anyway, back on topic, this 4.5" silencer has broken free somewhere in malvern/camberwell/toorak area... so if any one sees one lying on the side of the road, or has one spare, let me know.

or alternatively, if you know of any cheap units renting in a similar area, that would be better.

twenty words or less version- needed: 4.5" silencer, 1 33GTR wheel centrecap

Sorry for your finacial loss but I have to ask....cable ties on a hot exhaust?

Surely you heard it drop off, it would have got loud quick.

Everyone knows dodgy exhaust work = the use of coat hanger wire

This is a joke right? cable ties....

[funkymonkey]

lmao.. this has to be a wind up... who uses plastic cable ties to hold hot exhausts on?

I mean cable ties can hold a majority of the skyline together, but there are some things that cables ties and duct tape can't be used on. exhausts being one of them.

hey, they were the UV resistant ones which i thought might do better with heat,i knew they wouldnt last long, but hoped one might go before the other, and could replace it from the spares stash. making descisions sedated= fail . and i have used them around exhausts heaps... just not on them... i must admit, they lasted a fair while(many drives), then all of that night, i checked them at the shops, then 5mins later got home, GONE.

so WTB 4.5" silencer, 1 33GTR wheel centrecap

Probably out of your price range, but I highly recommend a Varex exhaust. I've had two now, and I cannot praise them enough.

Roar, or stock Excel-like silence at the touch of a button. They're very, very effective.

I think it'll be more useful if you post your pipe diameter. somehow i don't think you inlet pipe on the muffler is 4.5".

the part of the cannon where the silencer is inserted in to, is 4.5" in diameter...

ha ha, i was starting to wonder when ur neighbours will get tired of your car

maybe its time for a smaller exhaust

i think Phil(philmak) is selling R33 GTR wheels with RE55s on them, so you might want to ask him if he can spare a center cap

[_Ryan_]

and RE55's?

[180Roman]

and RE55's?

last time i checked it was $1100 for the R33 GTR wheels with RE55s on them, the RE55s are at 60% i think

EDIT: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=393111

i think they just sold a couple of days ago, but u can call him to find out

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

maybe someone wanted you silencers. and just cut the cable ties and saved them some spare money also ....

[180Roman]

if you want those RE55s the new owner is selling them,

you might want to have a look at them in person, coz in pictures they seemed to have a couple more track days left in them.

was thinkning go KU36's... i have an apex'i EVC, that might have to do til i can find a silencer...

[Ronin 09]

not that this is any help - but it fell out, and the noise went up 11ty-billion dB and you didn't notice?

turn down the stereo

[_Ryan_]

with the EVC pulled it wasnt much different inside... i retraced my route and couldnt see it...

fuel pump, diff etc all make noise too

Overpriced considering they are still illegal

Cheaper to get a piece of metal cut
