Sports Exhausts at the Ide Hill Meet, 2nd Nov
Discussion
Right. I've decided (after 5 months) that the Chim isn't quite loud enough, so it's time to get the exhaust sorted. The one condition is that I must be able to do track days but I'm willing to add extra silencing cans to bring it back down.
As I see it my options are:
1) Open silencer, remove wadding, weld back up - possibly too loud?
2) Open silencer, sleeve the pipes, weld backup - probably too loud?
3) Open silencer, partially sleve pipes, weld back up
4) Open silencer, partially sleve pipes, remove wadding, weld back up
I know there are going to be a few of you with this kind of work done at the Woodsman at Ide Hill on Sunday. What I need to know is who's done what so that I can listen to it (preferably on the move) to try and guague what I can get away with.
Thanks,
Rob

rob, i am getting the baffles removed and the exhaust fully sleeved (no half measures for me!) at Tower View after the Bedford track day. Tower View do some silencers which bolt on to the exhaust if you attend future track days with strict noise regs.
think i can live with the noise, if i can't, i'll sell the chim and buy a lexus...
If you can wait till then you can hear mine!

Rob, I'm off to Austec tomorrow morning to get the exhaust sleeved on my 4.0 Chim. I'm looking forward to hearing the effects though must confess to some trepidation that it's going to be a touch on the loud side. Hang on....... a touch on the loud side?! I'm starting to sound like my dad here! That's one of the reasons I bought the thing in the first place What I really mean is that I can't wait to hear the sound, I'm guessing it's something akin to the growl of the dogs of war being unleashed from the gates of hell. Or some other cliche like that! If you don't have any luck finding someone who's had it done let me know and I'll swing by some time. I usually go between Brighton and London most weekends and any excuse for a backroad blast is always an option. Go on, get it done, you know you want to!

Hi there Simon, would you mind giving us a write up on the exhaust sleeving at Austec once you've stopped popping and banging?

Good to see you today, hope you liked the noises you heard from the 'doctored' cars at the meet.
Drop me a line & I will give you the details of where the cars were modified. If only I could convince my wife that the Griff would sound better for it, she's having none of it but I will keep trying.

ps. my other cars a Lexus...nothing wrong with that!!
