LeoVince SBK silencer internals
are all stainless steel, welds included, to minimise corrosion.
Both end caps, the header pipes,
brackets, and all fasteners are also stainless and are subjected
to a surface treatment called " Scotch Bright ".This consists
of an automated polishing operation, followed by hand polishing.
The inner structure works with
fully tested competition soundproofing: this is made from special
ceramic fibre to which chemical binding agents are added and is
able to resist constant temperatures of up to 850°C , withstanding
peaks of 1000°C .
The diameter and length of the
fibre guarantee effective soundproofing and improved mechanical
resistance, preventing the dispersion of exhaust fumes. Even the
rivets that hold the end caps in place have been specially designed
for use where high levels of resistance to pressure and total exhaust
gas-proofing are required.
The carbon fibre outer casing
is protected against the high temperatures reached inside the tailpipe
by a thin sheet of aluminium (2/10 mm), which insulates the composite
material and maintains its features with age.
The aluminium outer casing is
extruded, therefore it fits the muffler perfectly, preventing exhaust
gases from leaking.
The titanium outer casing is made by calendering a foil, 7/10 mm
thick and is welded lengthwise in an inert Argon environment. Titanium
guarantees a strength similar to that of steel, with 50% less weight.
Available in standard mount or
high mount versions. |
