Martins car was black flagged within the first 7 laps of the 1st session for noise.. but even if it was over 98db it was still a very quiet car considering it was down to 0.8bar boost by the start of the 2nd session i think

But definatly the most impressive car there today was Dangerous Reylands car.. stupidly fast for the ammount of power it has

Always going to be the problem that!!

I had an exhaust extension with two full size silencers made for my pony Escort. Connected to the normal exhaust and then went along the entire length of the bumper and used the towing eye as support braket. Looked strange but fitted nice and quickey and most importantly cut the noise down to fook all.
