anybody tried fixing a bike silencer in place of the standard rearbox?
would have thought it would give a nice bit of sound but small and stealthy?
any ideas on fixing it to piping etc?

got some free time coming up and my car needs attention!

also ideas on price?

cant tell you much other then it does sound rather beasty. I met a guy by chance down my local tea selling bus (good place at the back of lakeside shopping center)

and i ran into a dude with a 1.4 8V, he had a bike can on his and it did sound pretty meaty. Pretty damn meaty i must say, not much stealthy about it to be honest lol. Maybe in looks but defo not in sound. He hadn't cut his bumper up to well though if memory serves he actually had one of those redline aluminium foil things on the bumper... ouch.

But like i say sounded good though. Give it a go and post some pics and clips.
