    Hi all. I'm after a bit of advice.
    I've just noticed there is hole on the underside of
    my silencer. It's about an inch from the bottom and about 1mm in diameter. Any idea what this is?

    A drain for condensation water and rain.

    Allows moisture to drain. Keep the hole open by probing it with a wire occasionally.

    Searching archives for answers and found this. New to VFRs and had not seen this drainhole before. Thought I had a little rust hole.Makes sense where they put it. Perfect spot for water to collect.
