Hello. I have to install a power unit with a separate silencer besides the muffler . Canton doesn’t sell one. Does any one recommend a manufacturer
MEI air bladder type are a good choice. Just have to keep up with the charging of the air bladder.

ITI comes to mind. I think I remember a job they had made s silencer for.
Other than that, what about a second muffler?
Or go look at a 330A and see what schindler uses. I don't know what magic they make their tank units with but they are always very quiet.

MEI could be your only choice on this one

I dont know for sure but maybe adams sells the same muffler schindler uses? Or order one as a direct replacement for a 330A.

How often does the MEI one need charging ? How do you charge it Are we allowed to add a 2nd muffler ? I’m not sure if I have ever seen that.

I’m not a fan of air bladder silencers. Not only have you added maintenance tasks and another point of failure we have had to replace several already. So compared to old school maintenance free failure free silencers I’m a hard no.

I was suggesting a second muffler for the exact reasons danzeitz said. I'm also not a fan of adding things that can fail and requires maintenance when it's not absolutely necessary.

What ever you do stay away from MEI.

Vertical express still sells the old school Dover style silencers that are quite effective. You can get it grooved or with vic ends.

Thanks ABE. I see that for 1800$. Do any after market mufflers affect my flow rate ?

Hey all. Anyone know if I can still purchase replacement silencer cores (rubber) for the old Dover's?
I'm pretty sure you can, from where I don't know. But I rebuilt one like 2 years ago

What kind? The big circle ones?
Is it just leaking? If it's leaking tighten all the bolts on it
