R400 noise issue at the Ring
Discussion
Hi, just back from spending Easter w/e at the Ring, where I was most distressed to be taken off the circuit for being too noisy (106db at 3k). Is this a common R400 issue? (I've the R500 titanium silencer so it's not super long). Any suggestions on how I get back on track with an acceptable noise would be really appreciated (Ring level is 95db at 3k with absolute max of 99db).
Ideally with a silencer that's a little better looking than the one I see on race cars

ps if you've not been yet I really would encourage it - absolutely awesome circuit and after 75 laps (not all last w/e!) I am starting to get the hang of where the road goes!

I've a K series 400 with the 500 titanium silencer which was repacked the week before the Ring so does look like I need a bigger silencer. Just had the engine tuned and checked at Minister last week and that was all fine.
I'm not saying it isn't loud and it pops and bangs like a rally car (or gunfight) on overrun - sounds excellent but assume not good for promoting long silencer life!
Does anyone have any suggestions for quieter silencers which don't look like a dogs dinner?
