It's just the tailpipe itself & expansion box I'm after.
I made my tail pipe out of a bit of 22mm copper pipe. Had a lovely 'rort' and easy to bend to shape but I *think* strictly illegal to use copper. For the life of me, I can't remember where I got the silencer from.. Sorry not to be of more help...

Chris,
I can recommend Dave Dye for the silencer box. I bought a "production" silencer from him and an upswept 3 branch manifold. They are both top quality imho.
No connection, just a happy customer.

Thanks Jack, I'll try him.
