MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Silencer choice ?

I have bought a single box exhaust for my mildly-tuned 1098 Midget Mk 2 restoration project, to suit the LCB exhaust manifold, but the silencer box is really heavy.
Can anyone recommend a back box that isn't too loud and which is slimmer and lighter please ?
Thanks.

I really like my RC40 back box (though I don't think it's very light).

I also have an LCB and RC 40 silencer on my 1275 cc Frogeye. No problems

Another vote for an LCB & RC40, makes a great sound even on a standard set up. Maniflow do a nice set and Magic Midget does a good price.

Very light, quite noisy, most are re packable, and quite cheap. Try to find a motorbike breakers.

Magic midget can can also supply dedicated midget silencers as mentioned.

A guy who races midgets once told me a Hayabusa silencer is a good choice. They are compact and light, and scraped ones are quite cheap on ebay from bikers who have come off!
