just found this avi file from a few months ago? What has this chimaera had done to it? Is it just the exhaust mod?

Fame at last!

It's my beast. It has had the common exhaust 'upgrade' of having the perforated pipes in the silencers removed and replaced with solid items, hence the back box does approximately 0% silencing. Austec Racing, approx £120.

Sounds fantastic!

I've also had the breaks upgraded (fantastic on track) and got some additional ACT silencing cans to take me back down below the limit.

Unfortunately I'm stuck on DIY at the moment so I can't make any meets. However, I should be out and about at some of the Surrey and possibly NW Kent meets after Easter. Can't wait.

mmmmm

Thinking of this too..

Where would one get the "cans" to go on the back to quiet it down again?

Maybe this is what has been done to mine.

When it is next to Coach's it does sound louder than his!

Does anyone know if they 'go in' throught the top or bottom of the box to modify it so I can see if there is a scar on it.

[chimhunter]

They go 'in' through the existing welds and then weld it back up. 1 week later you can't tell that it's been done, apart from the noise

As for the cans, ACT advertise on here. I got them at Austec for £45 plus the Chancellors cut. One thing I would say, I haven't noise tested them yet (i.e. measured at a track) to check what level they go back down to. From what I hear, I'm around 107-108dB and the cans take of about 10dB so I should be fine. I just need to check this before I pay for another track day.
