G3LS exhaust/silencer

My exhaust system (Armours) is a little to loud. There would appear to be enough of the pipe inside the silencer to blank off the end and drill some holes. has anyone done this, if so, how many holes and of what diameter.

Yes, at some time this was part of the original set-up. The pipe itself was long enough to go well into the silencer. This section would then be drilled and/or partially or fully blanked off. Expereriment a bit with number of holes and blanking plug to achieve desired result.

I think armours do what they call a pipe mute, which is cylinder shaped with holes in it and blanking bit on the end which you bang it into the end of the pipe. I did this with a g11 and it sounded a lot better, i think there a about a fiver! good luck

Thanks Tom and Andrew. I was aware of the mutes, which I have on the G11, trying save pennies!. After Tom's reply, I looked in the spares book and the pipe appeared to have 4 rows of 8 holes. Didn't have the pipe length for 4 x 8. so did 8 rows of 4 x 7/32" D. with the end blanked off. Sounds more civilised now.
