without resonator? - Is it < 100 db?

Haven't you already asked this... it's under 100db. I've run it on my CSL and not had noise problems on track

The centre section and race cats on my CSL resulted in 89dB on the stationary test but goodness knows how it passes the drive by sensors at Bedford (I haven't been there in the CSL for a few years now). Some of the GT3 guys cried foul whenever they got stopped and I carried on because my CSL certainly sounded louder. I'm not sure it would still pass Bedford's more stringent tests these days.

Got the straight through fitted today, bit of a pain to fit as one of the bolts was rusted. Sounds awesome!

Excellent to know that the pipe on it's own makes a difference.

Just so I'm clear on this - you just had the supersprint centre pipe and didn't change the standard cats or rear box? Was it much of a difference?

Yep. Gives it more of a metallic rasp, sounds silly I know, but I'm a big kid. When it revs past ~3k revs all hell breaks loose

About 300 notes, a lot I know, but Supersprint are good quality. Got it from Elite in Rainham: www.elitedirect.com

Thanks - Fitted or mail order? Also are you close to Surrey for a listen if possible?

interesting... Just called Elite and they don't do them and can't recollect ever fitting one to a CSL. Have I got the right elite?

As in the link above.

Speak to a guy called Barry. Tell him Mr Anand recommended you. I had them fitted last Friday!
