Cb400 Four silencer advice

(1/3) > >>

ColCB400 4:
I bought a silencer for my 400/4 from ds last year and it sounds lame.
Anyone know of a supplier offering a better sounding silencer.
don't want to re-jet or tinker at all just unbolt the old one and fit the new.
Prefer similar styling to standard but happy to look at anything that sounds more the part.
I have a standard set of Honda downpipes.

tom400f:
Not sure what silencer you bought but the only pattern one available is the Brituro, as sold by David Silver and available on ebay from a number of sellers. It's about £100.

Chris400F:
You could try something like this but you would need to check the diameter of the collector outlet for fit. I would have thought that jetting would probably be OK but as with any change there is no guarantee of this and someone else may know better than me.

I bought the DSS one and not impressed. as it was a replica I thought it would be the same but it is louder and I didnt want that.
I bought it so I could store the original as it is mint.
Wish I had gone with the Motad replica one now (stainless too)

mike the bike:
I bought another 400four a while ago while my engine blew up.   This bike had the original headers with a Marshall silencer.   On my 25 trip to work and back I noticed that the power isn't what it should be.  Whereas my original 400four would do an indicated 106mph down the Cowbridge bypass, downhill of course., this other one struggled to manage 85.
One day, the Marshall fell off en route and the power was instantly restored. 
Lesson learnt.   Sporty sounding. =  bad.  Lame sounding  = good.

I know that's a bit simplistic but IMHO, Honda got it right.
