Silencer / Muffler needed for an E85 3.0

nicklee1511 · Post by **nicklee1511** » Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:12 pm

I'm in desperate need of a silencer or muffler for my E85 3.0 - currently it has no rear box just straight through stainless steel pipes - it does sound great but too loud and aggressive for me.

I will consider any solution to quieten the noise, preferably a used silencer but if any one knows of a manufacturer of just the back box (can only get the full exhaust system on genuine), great!

Thanks - Nick

I have one which I bought to experiment with baffle modifications, but never did as I decided to stay with my standard backbox. Where are you located?

Thanks for the reply Alan.
I’m in Huntingdon, Cambs.
So it’s just a spare used standard box you have then?

Yes, it's a standard backbox removed from a 3.0i. It's missing one of the hangers, as when removing it the cut made through the pipes also went through the hanger - but a new hanger rod could be welded on easily enough. I bought it last summer from a forum member who'd performed a straght through pipe conversion, and I paid £50 for it.

I'm in Didcot, which is around 90 miles from Huntingdon. It's surprisingly heavy, which may impact courier costs.

Nick, This seems like a opportunity for a nice ride up to meet Alan? Not trying to put Alan on the spot but thinking if Alan (as previously posted "experiment with Baffle modes". Maybe for a couple of pints and grub Alan and you could install his used backbox. Then you could really enjoy the ride home? Just a thought?

Ahem thank you for the input there @rdm05z4...
Sounds good Alan. I'd be happy to cover courier costs - would you be prepared to get it ready for a collection? I'd need to know the weight and dimensions to get a quote a first.
I do need this as soon as possible.

No problem Nick. I'll box it up tomorrow and PM you the weight and dimensions.

PS: Whilst I've amassed quite a collection of tools over the years, this doesn't include welding gear and a car lift!

I've found some boxes that will enable me to package this - it's bigger than I remembered as well!

If you want to go ahead at £50 plus your courier costs, please drop me a PM and we can exchange contact detaills. We're normally in all day, so collection could be pretty well any day or time this week except for tomorrow afternoon.

Cheers thanks for this. I can’t PM apparently as I’m a newbie. I’ll think about it and let you know. I might even treat myself to a performance unit.

OP has decided on a different solution, so if anyone else is interested in this backbox at £50 plus postage (or collection from OX11 0BH), please feel free to drop me a PM!
