All it will do is preclude you from any track days with noise limits and give the plod advance notice of your impending arrival .

I am too used to my twin pipe Magnex system on my other cossy, and I want this car loud. Suits the style of the car.
It has still got one box, and at 20psi, it is suprisingly quiet. All you can here is gearbox whine and turbo whistle!!!
G1EN.....do not use pipecraft. If you want the box cut out, I can get it done. Also Hayward & Scott are just round the corner, and for that sort of work, they'll do a nice cash deal

I have used them before to fit a back box on to my previous xr2i. But if you can sort it out, let me know when ya can n ill pop n see ya??

Yeh i know of Hatward and scott, but also heard of there work, so didnt really wanna bother them with a small job like this.
