agree a nice v8 growl is nice but unfortunately the spacktards in their shopping trolley golfs with open exhausts have ruined it for everyone.

there is some fktard around here with a bean can on his civic, sounds like st - its loud and that is all, no definition

You wouldnt have a leg to stand on.

I would imagine that the argument goes something like "its not the OEM exhaust, therefore it is altered". The fact is that you have not just altered a part of the OEM one, you have altered the whole thing by replacing it with something non-OEM.

hman said:

No defence, if you want to comply then you have to make your aftermarket exhaust emit the same dB or less than OEM - which can be achieved if you try hard enough!

Glad I don't live in the UK anymore.

(My old S2000 was 113 db @ 4000 rpm. No boost and off cam, it got a lot louder at 9200rpm)

But why?

How much additional BHP did you release by making such a racket?

4 pots make a terribly boring noise - unless they are BDA powered escort MK1's and 2's .

Over 20hp and lighter by over 20kg.

No, I think his boyfriend does it in return for favours.

So by my reckoning that made paltry 8% power gain, and you shed a tiny 1.5% of the total weight.

Standard car 189.6 BHP/tonne

And you managed 208.9 BHP/Tonne

So less than 20 BHP/Tonne difference...


No, sorry, still dont think its worth annoying all your neighbours and other car users for the performance increase.

Shirley a remap of the ECU would have given you more than an 8% increase even with a standard exhaust???

Was actually less than that as a %age. Was 315whp and then dropped to ~290whp.

Then with a bit of weight loss all over, the car was just under 1200kg (with a 4 point cage, and all the engine mods).

I am just waiting for some loud plates to swap in the Wortec on my Monaro. Will I potentially fall foul of plod then?

Also how much louder is the Wortec on loud with standard cats an headers? I set off for work at 06:15 and don't want to have the neighbours complaining to council/rozzers

Not always the case though. I don't think the houses behind you were so keen with all the rev'ing, before leaving for an event, a couple of years ago. Sam's fault.

[stigmundfreud]

Coming back from 1st thunder road or some event, Sam drove slowly along side (didn't notice him) my window was down and he then floored it, I then had a 5p 10p 5p moment.
