Centre silencers

Centre silencers are silencers located in the middle section of the exhaust system, typically between the catalytic converter/downpipe and the rear silencer. They are used to dampen resonance, reduce drone in the cabin and make the exhaust sound more controlled.

A centre silencer is a good choice if the car is too loud, has a sharp/metallic sound or creates annoying resonance at certain RPMs. It can also be used in custom-built exhaust systems where a better balance between flow, sound level and comfort is desired.

When choosing a centre silencer, it is important to look at pipe diameter, length, the diameter of the silencer itself, material, sound level and mounting options. Stainless steel is a popular choice, as it provides good durability and resistance to heat, moisture and rust.

Whether you are building a sports exhaust, tuning exhaust or custom-built exhaust system, a centre silencer can be crucial for achieving a deeper, cleaner and more pleasant exhaust sound.
