If it's anything like the one on our Locost This one then it's loud. Then, after a few hundred miles it becomes very, VERY loud

get yourself a big beefy silencer from car builders solutions, they are tested so that the go to 96 db on average so they are ok for SVA,

they come in two sizes if im not mistaken, the bigger one is a 6in diameter can, 25.5in in length, total length is 42in.

that is the one i have, there is also a smaller one but i dont now the sizes

look here about half way down

We got ours from Lolocost a couple of years ago, it's been used on the road for almost 2 years now.
It's about the quality you'd expect for the price

It was just under the SVA noise regs, with a standardish 1300 crossflow.

It got very loud very quickly, and there's no way of repacking it.

It developed a really annoying rattle early on, but we've got used to it now

It has cracked on the weld where the pipe goes into the box, but that was 'cos of our dodgy mounting.

All in all, it'll "probably" get you through your SVA and you can replace it with something nice when it breaks
