Gearbox Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I'm restoring a 1962 Lotus Super Seven with a Cosworth 1340cc motor and trying to find a suitable muffler/silencer to replace the original. I'm trying to keep the appearance as close to original as possible and will be using the original headers with 1.5" primaries and a collector outlet of 1-5/8". The muffler that came with the car measures out with 1.5" inlet and outlets, a 2.7" diameter body which is 19" long. Not sure if this is the original muffler, but it is marked G.N. Silencer. I was wondering if anyone else had gone down this road and found something suitable. I searched the forum and see that most threads are using more modern mufflers that have a much larger body and inlets and outlets. The closest match I have found so far was the Smithy's glasspacks which are 2" inlet/outlets, 3.5" body and are 22" long. Thanks Allan Edited January 8, 2015 by Gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Try asking that question on lotus@se7ens.net. Also; someone there will probably be interested in purchasing the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
