Carbon silencer

[Metsien Mies]

Hello,

advise needed, please. I have a BIG and shiny silencer in my Cat, now as I am changing wings, nose and rear to carbon ones I would want to change silencer as well to carbon one.
Suggestions? I think even big Ackrapovic or similar would do the thing, modern bikes are having that same +200 hp with only one silencer. Have anyone changed yours to carbon made?

I bought one off Motad for my Westfield years ago, very good can and very good value, it really improved the look of the car. I've never looked for one to fit a Caterham. You could try Motad, they helped me out.

You can go over the edge with adding too much carbon in my opinion. Have you looked at Raceco? They make (or made?) lovely titanium ones.

I have never heard that there can be too much carbon..

I may be persueded to start making these again.

I have the tooling for the end caps and the carbon tube is available to suit.

I had it all made to measure when I first designed them.

They can be made to any length and include a CAT.

I branded them CiC (Cat in the Can).

My problem is there are so many varriations and its not my core business.

Maybe I need to find someone who can take care of all the manufacture and making sure the fit that particular customer car.

Did you have your bonnet transfers custom made? My SLR is also a dark colour and I'm looking for something better than the standard silver Caterham offering.

Don't get that wrong, What I mean is if you do everything in the CF natural color weave it looks boring.
I have a substantial amount of CF on my car, but only certain parts show that it is CF. Other parts are just painted in the car color.

V7SLR a friend made mine up with his vinyl printer.

Are you on the FaceBook Caterham 7 pages as I can put you in touch?

On here and BC (although very rarely), don't use Facebook. I could probably set it up to get a link though.
