Gearbox Posted January 8, 2015 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
DeanG Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Try asking that question on lotus@se7ens.net. Also; someone there will probably be interested in purchasing the original.
