Catalyst Silencers?
This ebay item came up in another thread
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARLEY-DAVIDSON-SILENCER-EXHAUST-6552-95B-65863-95C_W0QQitemZ260031834522QQihZ016QQcategoryZ10458QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
& I happened to notice on one of the pics it says "catalyst" stamped into the silencer surface. So are these silencers also cats
&, if so, how many bike exhausts are there out there like this - would it only be import stuff from the States etc? Anyone know anything more on
this?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

There's a place in Lincolnshire called Tube Engineers (or something like that) who do bike silencers with built in cat - £2-300 I think.

As I understand it, a lot of newer bikes do have them (maybe all?), but bikes have to meet much less stringent emission levels than we do for cars, so
they generally aren't efficient enough to get through SVA

Pity, might have made life far too easy!

But i think you will find californian emissions laws are a little more strict than ours...
You could be lucky with an american cat/silencer.. trouble is a lot of bikes fit them in the collector not the silencer...
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
