The title says it really! I'm hoping to take the Chim to the track this summer but before I do, I'm going to need to shut it up a bit. Its currently running ACT decat manifolds and the ACT cherrybomb exhaust so it's fairly loud... (a friends 4 litre Griff with the same setup hit 129Db at full whack at the Griff Growl a couple of years ago) Mine is a 450 so perhaps even louder? whistle

I've never had mine measured though so I'd quite like to see how loud it is at the standard 3k revs at 1/2 meter behind the pipes so I can see whether I have a chance of getting away with just some ACT tail pipe silencers or not.. If not I guess I'm going to have to come up with something different such as a second rear section to the exhaust with silencing in to put on for track days. Has anyone been to the track with any of these setups?

Edit: Forgot to say, the Chim is currently up in Brum City Centre so as close to here as possible would be lovely smile

Nick - Try Dan Smith. He'd got one with him at the Top Gear open day early April.

If you hang on he might be along.

I'm not Birmingham, but you can test it with mine if you fancy a nice run down through the Cotswolds - I'm near a town called Dursley, near Stroud.
