Expensive silencer

[Top Dead Center]

Before I got a 5iveT I checked out pipes and liked the DDM Dominator simply because it looked like a pipe on a dirt bike. I thought it would be a good idea to make my own silencer(lmao).

DDM sells one for $29.00. I have about that amount in raw material. I made one out of 316 stainless steel. If I were to add material cost and my labor rate, mine would cost a little over $300.00??.

Here are a couple of vids of the canister being made. I was too busy cranking handles and drilling to try filming the machining of the baffle.

I still need to score some Rockwool or fireplace insulation for packing. If it works out to my satisfaction, i will produce another one out of aluminum and probably gift this one to someone on the forum.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It is a little too heavy for my taste. It might be suitable for some of you big bore guys.

How is stinger diameter? And inner diameter of the tube thingy that the packing goes one? Cuz I t might be too small for a big bore

The canister O.D. is 1.500", canister I.D. is 1.375". The I.D. of the baffle is 0.500", O.D. of the baffle tube is 0.625.

Ill I have to measure my pipes stinger but that sounds about big enough. Not sure tho. Probably ?

Wanna bet?

Sounds best with a 1.500" canister.

Ok your right, my tip is 21 mm I'd, his is tip is 12.7 (.500"), the I'd of the packing holder is enough tho.

Maybe some kind of adapter can be made if needed?

That's not the problem, the problem is it creating excessive back pressure which hinders rpm and power (and of course exhaust flow) from too small of diameter

But a silencer slows down fast moving gases that creates the noise!

Sure but it's not creating excessive backpressure I'd think, could be wrong tho.
