Exhaust silencer supports

The silencers for the KZ and the shifter classes are generally fastened using springs or clamps to supports attached to the rear end of the chassis. Sodikart and CPB Sport adopt an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for their chassis. These are clamps conformed to the average diameter of KZ silencers. Their shape adapts well and easily to the section of the silencer and the soft rubber profiles that cover the internal diameter by attaching to the edges of the clamp, ensure the surface of the silencer made of any material (carbon, steel, kevlar) is not damaged, This rubber part, resistant to the very high temperatures of a kart exhaust, also ensures greater grip by preventing the silencer from moving from the desired position.
