Started this little project 
A bit of metal glue a bag of 6 mm holes and some wading fingers crossed it isn't too loud
With the je pipe
Rather than weld the original outlet back on the bottom of the cone, why not just take an appropriate sized bend and pipe off it to mate to the rest of the system? Save the weight and bank the extra room (it all helps) A bit of metal glue a bag of 6 mm holes and some wading fingers crossed it isn't too loud

Going to make it a silencer
Have been informed by the grate and the good on hear that I have je sport box
So it may get a little noisy
Going to remake the cone with perforated sheet and pack it with wool then rap to make it look stock
Can certainly confirm de-catted with sleeved silencer is too loud for sociable use having been there but the cherry bombed jobs sound entirely acceptable with no cats so I'd imagine your short box would not be that different. By all means try and good luck with it but I'd be concerned a cone based silencer just there would not keep its wadding in place for very long due to heat and pulse energy given the proximity to the engine. I'd also expect to find it causing a bit of a flow restriction or even some strange standing wave effects (especially as the wadding burns/blows out)....

Yep see what you mean It is a bit near to the lump
If it's not working I will have a re think ( there is some thing that makes a silencer of sorts that will live so close to the engine or two of them) and go back to the cone with or without the sleeve
