Lightweight exhaust
Looking for a lightweight exhaust silencer for a 7 type car. Will be used for a bike engined car.
Anyone know a good supplier?
Cheers

Mild steel is lighter than stainless...

We have used a standard ZX9 ( or was it ZX12?) can on our Blade engined Phoenix.
Its Titanium as is the complete system.

Spyder,
You know your Titanium can. I know they say "titanium" on them, but are you sure that its 100% titanium? I remember having one, and I
remember the outer being magnetic (not a good sign if its titanium).
Not 100% sure, but might be worth checking.

Its definitely titanium on the outside at least!
We had to fit a second mounting bracket (see pic) and that was made of Ti and tigged on with Ti filler wire.

Pretty conclusively titanium then. Either its different to the one that I had, or I remembered wrong.

The inner perforated tube will be mild steel, so maybe magnetic THROUGH the Ti outer?
Kindest Regards,
