Pouring kerosene in Silencer?? - Page 3 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

putting heavy grade oil into the silencer does make it sound more bassy.
This is because when the internals are coated with oil, the high frequency waves (trebble ) are better absorbed and this results in predominance of low frequency pressure waves ( bass ). Hence the feeling of bassy exhaust..

A silencer is always designed for dry operation and uses glass wool. If you put any oil or non evaporative liquid, you are adding restriction to your exhaust.. So basically you are ruining your own exhaust..
Also, since your exhaust is now running choked, it will have much higher avg pressures and combine this with higher temperatures, you are reducing the life of the silencer drastically...

All this had started when the 1st gen passion and Pulsar exhausts started rotting and falling off. The mechanics put in oil and block the opening and rev the bike to drain off excess oil. I had asked why, he said we have observed that "Jo silencer me oil dala vo sada nahi"

he did that to my bike too. I went for a ride, ripped like crazy and suddenly I was riding a 2storke... LOL!

A 2stroke that smoked even when the engine was off (but hot)

diesel and kerosene has some cleaning properties. but pouring a flammable substance to an area that is likely to get heated up to high temperatures is foolishness.
