    Your twisty metal baffle thingies, do they need to be a snug fit, or
    would say a 30mm wide metal strip work in a 47mm hole?

    No, I quite like my testicles where they are.

    I've always used a strip cut to be a snug fit: a 47mm pipe would, IWT,
    require a ~45mm strip. If you have only have 30mm strip it's worth a
    go, though I would expect a reduction in benefit as there's going to be
    a straight shot bypassing the effect of the twister.

    Turns out I've only got 25mm, so I'll be off to B&Q later. I presume
    alu would be ok, at least for testing purposes?

    Had one of them in Northumberland - fairly kept the chill of the night
    away, that did - right until lunchtime the following day.

    The Madras I had the other night, mind - hotter than most Vindaloos,
    the bastards.

    Only if you like sticking yours up an exhaust pipe. Come to think of it,
    didn't I see your picture on the internet once?

    Assuming those two sentences are unrelated, possibly.

    So you're saying you've never owned a Range Rover then?

    Heh.

    Actually, the funniest thing on that page (and saddest, in a way) is that
    "The usually gentile town of Frinton-on-Sea" is almost certainly a
    genuine mistake. What a missed opportunity.

    Well the biggest I could fit in, given the angle, is 40mm, so that's
    what I did. They're the full length of the can & straight bit of the
    link pipe. The results are:

    Race cans with just the db killers at 5k RPM: 99.6db.
    As above but with twisty metal inserts: 99.6db.

    So I'd say that's a resounding fail! Maybe a 500cc cylinder's worth of
    gas is too much for the twister to deal with.
