How to silence your Jota pipes?

They certainly were in Australia.
I agree that even if a bike is loud it can generally be ridden relatively quietly, a Jota is far quieter than many aftermarket equipped bikes. Modern bikes with their exhaust technology do not need to be loud.
 
Are you sure this is true? I can not find them in any (!) factory parts catalogue... My understanding was, that they were a Slaters brothers design and only equipped to Bikes Slaters had their hands on (or delivered as an aftermarket product). You have any factory parts catalogue specific to Australia that shows them as a factory equipment? Or is it maybe because Australian bikes were delivered to Slater's specs and maybe even with them having their hands on it (like with US bikes f.e.)? If so, they still are no factory pipes but aftermarket pipes, fitted maybe by the factory on special order by Slaters (or the importer?).

ready to learn something (for me) new!  ;)
 
The factory Jotas came to Australia crated from the factory in Italy with the  Jota type mufflers fitted. There was no option to have baffled pipes on those bikes from new. I wasn't at the importers then, but at state distributors, and we uncrated new bikes like that. Crashed Jotas were fitted with replacement mufflers of the same type from the importer who dealt exclusively with the factory. It is just a fact Lothar, but who knows where the micro fiche is with the parts numbers.

I got told about this post and thought it was a bloody wind up ? I mean aint it ??
FFS if you dont like the sound of a Jota or Jota pipes more to the point then fairly simple send them to me and I will part exchange for a set of Lafronconi's job done. Best to email me and not on here much these day too many dam long neck's here.

Really are you serious, Jota pipes loud that's just plain dumb and crazy, simply the best sounding and most unique motorcycle engine ever made so why mute it ... seriously the only thing better than a triple with Slater style pipes is one of these.... now cant see Rosie getting any Pussy silencing... just down right dam crazy  (bye)

Man oh man Rosie sounds great don?t she, dam shame that the guy who made the exhaust is out of bus... bit of a bugger actually love to have one of those myself  :o  :LOL:
 
"The factory made and sold full Jotas, taking over from Slater."

sorry Paul I beg to differ (again, gets boring dont it)

Slaters never made Jotas, they added parts (not always the same parts) to the 3C and it got called 3CE, The factory then supplied the 3CE but without silencers, the "3CE" was stamped diagonally between the LAV1000 and the numbers between the stars on the chassis. The Jota never did have its own series of chassis numbers, they were built at the same time as other triple types.

I have seen with my own little eyes, (no I am not playing I spy here) on more than one occasion, crated Jotas at Slater's premises, having the plastic sheet of the crate slit with a very sharp knife and two hardly wrapped at all, Jota silencers, being pushed inside to lay in the bottom, for fitting by the supplying dealer. So they were sent over without the "silencers" they have been made in the UK (at that time) by more than one supplier, the Healey bros being one of them.

We used to regularly do a ride from Wisemans Ferry to Spencer along the Hawkberry River. It's a narrow 2 lane, one each way, rough as guts road with an 80k limit and down to 60 in the 3 or 4 villages you pass through. The pace there can climb a bit but I always trickled through the villages slow and as quiet as I could, if I lived there it would piss me off having weekends disturbed by loud fast bikes. And no complaints meant no cops popping up as well. If you don't rev them even my big bore headers and 50mm collector plus open Jota mufflers can be quite easily enough.

OK - so, how then comes it that the bikes in down under all have the Jota pipes? Did Slater maybe supply them to the factory for that setup or did he maybe deal with the Australian importer instead of the factory directly? anyone knows for sure?

 
Eades had Jota Mufflers for sale hanging on the wall, no idea what came standard on Oz bikes. I remember Jim saying either Slator Mufflers or Healey or Sealy. Don't remember which. I bought I think some Stainless locally made ones off him, nothing internal I know though.
