They're not exactly quiet, but can take the edge off the exhaust note, so it doesn't sound so harsh.
When we first tested my truck's exhaust with a pair of tractor silencers fitted, it registered 106 decibels. The limit for the commercial SVA test was 101db, so I made up a cross-over tailpipe system, using a pair of Cherry Bombs & an extra couple of feet of tubing, plus a couple of 4 inch long louvred motorcycle type baffles for good measure. That took it down to less than 100 decibels.

i met a bloke with a reliant trike last year just before i started mine he had a cherry bomb and it did sound sweet wasnt over loud, i had one on a mk1 feista years ago and a bomb straight off the manifold it could be heard for miles  ohhh the good old days, anyway i was gonna have one on my reliant trike but me bro brought a gp can for his ninja and donated his old viper race can to my trike, you can get 2 for £60  |

I use what I think is an original Reliant silencer box thats mated to some fairly small bore stainless pipe. It gives a really nice sound and isnt at all loud. I like it and normally I prefer loud pipes  dobbers trike |

That was when I first got it Andy, you have seen pics of it but it had changed from that one. Just realised, there are a couple of pics of it like that in the posting pics how 2 thing I did. Even that same pic
I didn't build it OAB I bought it as it looks in that pic. It went through quite a few changes but mainly cosmetic. I am doing some stuff but am that slow I haven't put much up at all. Will wait until I have something about done or finished. My biggest problem is I will think of something, spend ages doing it then change my mind and rip it up again. Really must get either the vw or reliant actually running round this year though.
