If are referring to an automobile or truck, then it is two different words for the same thing. I am not certain, but believe "silencer" was more used by the English while "muffler" is the common word in the States.

What if you install indore silencer to royal enfield bullet 350cc?

There are different kind of modified silencer apart from the originally supplied (Stock) silencer. Indore silencer is one of them. It produces a decent thumping sound like the one in old bullets, but is not even to much noisy. There are other silencer which do not have any filter (muffler) like the ROCKET SILENCER, which produce much more sound (Noise) as compared to indoor or stock silencer.
