Preserving New Silencers

Iv not noticed much of a performance difference.
The 300's make you feel like your going faster because of the extra noise. Your ears will thank you for the 341's

From memory I think its due to the positioning of the drain holes. If started up after standing awhile the left pipe sometimes spits a little water out of the drain hole I normally only get whiffs of steam from the other pipes.

That's a sobering thought :'(.

 I like the suggestion of the tube heaters, i'll look into it but i will still try the Waxoyl route, the area that rots is the silencer, do they get hot enough to burn away the Waxoyl or just melt it into a liquid state which is ok.

They do get very hot, as does the gas travelling through them, it would almost certainly burn off the internal baffles, and probably run out of the drain holes causing a mess, , if you’re set on using it I’d try it in one silencer first, I think a low constant heat from a couple of tube heaters is your best bet , it would keep the rear of the bike bone dry as well 👍
