I’ve ordered some stainless pipe and a stainless silencer. It will be a while (probably 6 weeks) before I can get it all installed, but I’ll post the parts and results then.
Actually, the part that failed was an aftermarket silencer installed after the stock muffler to reduce the exhaust noise. The stock muffler is still in good shape.
So for those of you who have dabbled in muffling your insanely loud Hisun, I just wanted to give an update on the Silent Rider Silencer project I reported on just short of 3 years ago. The silencer has failed from rust rot. So in the end, not a good investment. If I do a different one, pretty sure it will be stainless this time.
If others have tried other add-on mufflers or fixes beyond what’s already been reported, please post your experience.
