    Carbon Silencers

    Fella's,
    I've once been told that carbon mufflers on a Tiller aren't a good idea. They wouldn't last very long or wouldn't be strong enough or something like that.
    Can anybody confirm or deny this rumour?

    I'm out looking for a new full system and I really dig the carbon look but I'm kinda doubting if it's the right way to go...

                    And that Pierre dude, his bike was backfiring alot and wrecked the cans. I think they were custom??

                      Schussboelie, "carbon silencers"? A contradiction there, "carbon noise makers" perhaps

                          7000+ miles in 1.5 years on my full CF Yosh Zyclones with no problems and I do not have a backfire problem. If they do crap out, then it's TI time. Planning on repacking at 10k.
