    Not the right size silencer? I figured you'd wip one up real quick. Pipes look sick as usually.

    Figures!

    Looks like I found one that needs a cut cut here and a cut cut there......

    Having them get the size. I'm only concerned about OD diameter. Also, I might have one I can borrow from me Maico. I forgot it has a thin round silencer.

    So I might be business for Fox Bike Snail Pipe.

    Neighbors had one on there Elsinore 125 back in day and it was trick.

    I had one on my TM 100 and it was welded on. I think was a DG back in day.

    Mine might be an answer universal, it is repackable.

    Here we go! Scored this off an old CZ. Suppose to be 2inches outside diameter.

    It will be perfect for the snail pipe for Fox Bike.

    I need to change the inlet from an outward funnel to inward, then weld it directly to my pipe.

    From what I had taped together the other weekend. This is going to be one bad ass pipe. Don't think I ever saw one on 80's Husky's. Plus going to be louder than sheet!

    Silencer should land between shifter and front of cylinder exhaust outlet, few inches in front of my motocross boot.

    Here begins the makings of the snail piper!

    Got the silencer and it is 2" diameter. Got it cut and all cleaned up. Had a screw in it to repack it as well. It will be perfect in size to come back down along cylinder.

    Stalled right now till rest of parts show up and hoping to finish next weekend.

    I find that welding these are very therapeutic for your neck. You should try it!

    I think I'm going to slant it some rather than straight back down? You guy's thoughts?

    If I go straight down I'm also going to angle silencer in some.

    I have to shave bout inch off silencer yet....... Either way!

    But really! How bad ass is this piper?

    That's like fitting 10lbs of sh@# in 5lb bag. Whatever would give you the most ground clearance and boot clearance. Looks sick no matter how you do it. Was wondering if straight vertical with horizontal silencer but might not be enough room tip of silencer would need a turn down or out.

    This is shortened silencer in line with cylinder.

    Plenty of boot clearance and even with frame?

    Just tack welded.

    Figure I'd come off motor mount with removable isolator bracket.

    I angled the silencer to run true with case.

    I also ran pipe lil further below and up higher to help build some bottom end.

    i think following the same angle as the stock pipe, keeping the same "look" from a distance will look best. kind of like your pics showing it more vertical.
