Vire 2018 stainless steel Exhaust ( fits 7 & 12 hp models)

easy to fit, will never corrode or let you down

has all the good features that vire put on the vire 12 (watertrap and internal water injection) plus will not corrode or block with oxide

on a Vire 12 application, you reuse your old gasket with sealant, and screw in the supplied plug to the top breather hose. thats it! (10 minute change)

on a vire 7 application, you reuse your old gasket with sealant, and fit the longer hose supplied from your pump to a new 'core-plug- inlet included that needs to be aligned then hammered in just like changing an old core plug. if reusing your old 40mm rubber wet-exhaut-hose, you fit the 40-50mm adaptor supplied (10 minute change) you will no longer need the vire external stainless watertrap or it's water-injection pipe, note the improved cold (not warmed via silencer-jacket) water injection into the cylinder means less chance of the engine overheating and seizing because of a blockage from alloy wax blocking the inlet pipe or long periods at full power, which cures an original design fault they later corrected in the 12hp model system.

looks much cleaner and modern, (no corroding alloy powder and bubbling paint your old unit had)

NOISE levels: because stainless does not corrode and accumulate a rough surface, and it can resonate easier than cheaper thicker aluminium, the noise level will be noticably higher at low RPM.idle but at full throttle, the level is not higher but the same, and you will see a higher MAX power (approx 10% more) and RPM because the gas flow is less restricted. If you like to reduce noise further, you can wrap the exhaust with a fibre-glass fireproof jacket (like you have around domestic hot water tank) or add sound-deadening foam inside your engine compartment as professional boatbuilders always do.
