400 Exhausts.

[taysidedragon]

I was having a clean out in the garage over the weekend and realized that i still have the original exhaust system...but as with all of them the bottom of the tail pipe has rusted away...the headers while a little corroded are fine - if i got them rechromed theyd be like new. For the tailpipe i wondered if it was worth taking it to an exhaust builder to refurb it...or is it not worth it...purely just to restore it for the sake of it...? (ive got a stainless motad system on mine which will stay on there)

Thoughts..?

If the silencer has rotted on the bottom you can bet that all the internals are rotten too and past saving. ☹

Righty...i was wondering...i wasnt sure if (due to the fact its an original one) but if its not worth saving then so be it....ill leave it out for the scrap bloke...

There is a firm on e-bay in the UK making what looks like decent replica silencers.
If I find the link I will add it to this  post.

The three suppliers I am aware of these are all out of stock including the company that makes them for DSS and Classic Bike Parts! I have my name down for an email alert when they have some to sell.

DSS has a new stock of silencers that must have just arrived because he didn't have them last week when I put my order in for other parts

It's actually Brituro in Brum who make them Dave. The same people who made me CB250RSA silencers and CB250K silencers with narrow TIG welded seams. Joe there did me a great direct deal.

I went onto their website yesterday Ash but they are also showing no-stock. I put my name down for an email alert when back in stock. I also tried to call them on the phone but the number continually comes up as temporarily unavailable. I assume they are still in business?

Unless Brituro are trading under a new name, they shut up shop and dissolved the company at the end of 2023. I know for sure they haven't been producing for quite a while as it was discussed on FB.

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

The website still comes up but phone number is temporarily unavailable.

Companies come and go.

Keep an eye out for Simon Dallow.

Also Joe Dalllow  .. Steve .. who I have dealt with directly. He has made me quite a few 'special quality CB250K repro  silencers ... same tooling as the ones DS sell but narrow seams and continous TIG welding to the seams ... just like Honda did (DS ones are spot /resistance welded. Also he missed off any 'Made in England' stamping. Here's hoping they are still manufacturing
