The silencer is very restrictive Dave, If you come to the Northants meet I'll have my 604 Armstrong MX bike this year - you'll see how restrictive the exhaust feels once youve had a go on the full fat version! I do a road legal silencer for the 604 which improves performance no end..
how about the 560 gary
oh yes! In fact when fitted to 348's and 504's the performance gain has been noticable, just ask Arceye, moose and lard....

Last one in stock for the time being can be found here.. http://sportaxracing.co.uk/shop/mt-part ... -silencer/

Ive still got the silencers but have sold out of the link pipes - more are being made though..
