Tony Turbo

For a trackday?


I have a feeling that my car won't pass the noise regs at Bedford/ What are my options?

bolt on silencer pipe?

MWF

Cut open the back box, stuff it and weld it back up again.

Or get a track day plug.

Another silencer in the system, factory airbox (as a LOT of the sound from turbo cars is induction noise!).

Tony Turbo

Hmmmmmm, I guess an Escos airbox might fit I can't put another box in the system. Will have to go on the tailpipe if anywhere.


What's a track day plug? Where do you get these things from?

Thanks

MWF

Erm, kinda hard to explain what it looks like. It slides into the exhaust tip and has like two baffles. Works quite well but sadly you can feel the power sap.

I recently had a larger center box put on my Prelude to make it quieter, cost about Ł80.

Lou Lou.

I have a question how do you measure how loud you exhaust is?

Tony Turbo

I was going to turn the boost down a bit anyway to around 20psi, but I didn't want anything to interfer with the map.

Tony Turbo

With a decibel meter. They test you standing still, and drive by.

Most people are ok and fly through the noise regs.

I'm going to have the same problem Tony, god know's what to do!!!

Might have to buy a second system & try to devise some sort of quick release system..................

PS Cheque sent today for the RR thrash!!

All T34 Cosworths will be okay UNLESS you have removed the centre box. If you have done this, then 1. How old are you . 2. It WILL fail at Bedford.

PS my next door neighbour works for Enfield council................Noise pollution desk!!

I'm going to get him to check my readings!! static & full throttle runs!!

On a private road of course!!

Tony Turbo

Thanks for the cheque, you are on the list, somewhere in the middle lol


I don't really want to buy another 3 inch Mongoose my original was expensive enough lol. I reckon clamping something on the tailpipe will be my best option. Will look wank though.





Mike - What about T34 RST's, do they pass?

Franco

So what if you have the centre box Mike & no back box.......

Fooking Gadget Does sound sweet on full chat.......Especially after yesterday!!

PS i'm 28

Lou Lou.

Tony Turbo

but probably best of all is this....

It's like a kind of Throttle Body that goes inline in the Exhaust and is controlled from inside the car. We have fitted one of those and its quite neat. That guy wanted it to reduce exhaust noise while cruising, not sure what it would be like under Boost.

Like others have said though, it will sap lots of power.

Andreas

You could always try the AxelF trick....put a in the tailpipe.

Ginge !

aint the 3ins mongoose zorst silenced anyway

i know the baby ones aint but im sure the 3ins ones are

andy_st200

they check you on entering at 3000rpm , they dont even bother testing me anymore

Christian and Beccy

The 3" Bore exhausts are normally silenced in the Tailpipe, but me and Tony both have 4" Outwardly rolled Tailpipes instead of the usual Inwardly rolled ones, which are unsilenced.

Mr Scrutineer at Bedford, he say

AndyRST

PMSL @ Mike

Tony just do what you did for mine at bedford, hold it at 2000rpm instead of 4000rpm

think i will need to do something when i get mine back on the road again


looking into getting a custom made exhaust


HAYWARD AND SCOTT have said that they can make it quieter and lower spool up time aswell


wont be a cheap fix thou i guess

Tony Turbo

Yeah, I could cheat the static test, not much I can do on the drive by, unless I drive round slow all day, and what's the point in that


Looks like I am fucked if I don't sort something out. Hearing my car on the video at Brunters made me realise how loud my car is



Thanks for the links Mr C, will look at them later on. Any you can recommend?

Tony if your exhaust don't pass i wouldn't ever stand a hope in hell

I thought your was quiet when queing next to you at the pod to be honest And when you ran lol My car sounded 10 x louder When i come home late i have to turn my car off and roll down the hill as it sets all the car alarms of in the street otherwise

Ginge !

faye alex's runabout is fooking load, im sure thats just a tail pipe only when i heard it

sounds like a tractor on idle

Sexy-RS

Thats nothing Thats my old cabby lol Times that by 10 and you got my car Honest ask him pmsl

Benn 304R

Tone, my cossie was 107db static

Mike, might not pass noise regs at bedford but does sound the bollox

Benn 304R

Oh and Mike, as for how old I am, put it this way not as old as you

DaveEscos

loud cars are fucking awful

you look and sound like a nova driving C-UNT!

Ginge !

i remember alex's cab at brunters a few year ago, it was off in the distance then all couldnt see it,,,,,,,,, could still fucking hear it though and then on his return we heard the car then after a few seconds we could see him again

Benn 304R

Sexy-RS

Its louder than Alexs

Dave can't you tell the difference between a Peco and a mongoose /Scorpion

Ginge !

theres a fucking pikey BMW compact with fast and furious stickers on it and the fucking LOUDEST exhaust in the world, not only that but cause tis fucking slow as shite you just hear it roar and bellow for ages and THEN you can hear the AUTOMATIC gearchange

couldnt be further from a performace car if he bought a skoda

Ginge !

the mongoose on my cossie aint that bad, the janspeed system on my cabrio ive just removed was quite bad though but the inner tailpipe fell out and the baffles all blew out of it too

ive since replaced it with a peco boxer exhaust and 4 brand manifold and tbh it sounds quieter

DaveEscos

who cares... they all sound the same .. and that is SHITE


a v8 warbler yes.. a pony 4 pot turbo.. NO! (and that includes my escos )

I think my mongoose is too loud... but luckily for me, the gearbox noise mutes the exh

Beach

i dont care what anyone thinks.

call me a C-UNT but i like having no center box on my mongoose and to be honest think it sounds fookin mint.

Im sure plenty of people think the same

Sexy-RS

I like the popping, banging and gargling when you come of the accelarator Just don't like coming home and setting peoples alarms off at silly times

DaveEscos

my alarm is as sensitive as my bellend boutl be after cleaning it with bleach and a cheesegrater

so im fed fucking up of these bean tin exhaust c*nts driving past setting the sodding thing off



1.3L peashooters all round should be the law!
