Tried it without the dB killer today and as expected, it�s too loud! No surprise there really. Still think it's about spot on for balance between a sounding good and unobtrusive with the baffle in.

I�ve started work on a DIY tool tube, which I�m going to fabricate out of black 110mm solvent weld soil pipe with screw on water-tight inspection caps. The reason for soil pipe and a DIY job is I want something big enough to store a pair of inner tubes, which none of the commercially available ones will do. In fact I might call it a "Tube Tube"?

Being 110mm in diameter means you can get your hand right inside and down the bottom too � handy for retrieving little odds and sods from its depths. Soil pipe is also cheap, tough, waterproof (obviously) and readily available from plumbers merchants.

So far I�ve made a mock up out of a cardboard carpet roll inner (which just so happens to also be 110mm) so I can work out the length and position. I reckon I can get a 400mm long tube in the space left by the vacant right hand silencer. With an internal diameter of 100mm, that makes for just over 3 litres of extra storage.

It is suspended using a circular stainless silencer hanger, which also very handily comes in 110mm diameter as standard. I�m in the process of welding up a bracket/steady out of 10mm box section to support the front end.
