Replacement exhaust for 239 Mk3

[Dodge]

I posted this before and got no responses - I think it was in the wrong place.
I am restoring a 239 MK3 and will be replacing the exhaust and pipe. I will keep the original forward position of the gear change. I have the original exhaust (Lafranconi “DUCATI 0609 84 500”) and standard carb (Dellorto PHF 30AD). Rechroming looks expensive and there may well better alternatives. I had a reverse cone mega on my 450 Desmo (set up and tuned by Vic Camp). It worked well and sounded great except that it would probably be considered a bit anti-social these days! Any suggestions welcome.

Rodger,
See if you can find a Dunstall 'decibel' silencer, in my opinion this was the best balance of noise/performance, hard to find but the odd one appears on ebay now and again.
Cheers,
George

It depends how anti-social you wish to be. There are Dunstall copies on eBay which are cheap, or you could fit a Conti from Keihan Systems, or a new Silentium, or, a long megga as fitted to the Spanish bikes, which are available new.

The Silentium, presumably as fitted to the 250 Mk3, seems to have attracted some adverse comments on this forum. Has anyone experience of the Dunstall copies?

Well, I had a pattern Dunstall on my Sebring years ago, and it was loud. I think if you wish to be sociable, then it is a toss up between the Spanish 24 Hours type or the original Silentium.
