Probably wont do much good for your hp tho.
Assuming your going to get a proper exhaust made up mate?
Going to have to sit down and go though all this myself in a few months time :(

would sooner lose a couple of bhp than waste a couple of hundred quid trackday.
probably wont bother changing my system just yet
With you on that one... Just a shame that they can hold race days that are VERY noisey but a track day car thats just a bit over the limit is a no no
makes no sense :S
Surely its teh TBs that are making the racket though?Quote:

Maybe worth seeing what the noise levels are like with the airbox fitted.
That alone might bring them right down.
As i know when i had carbs fitted, i couldn't even hear any exhaust noise at all,over induction noise.
youll be getting excessive backpressure with that thing in olz, and may well be worthwhile having it remapped to suit
I can't personally hear the exhaust over the gearbox or the TBs lol
As said - I'll see how I can go at Rockingham, but I'll have a few devices to try should I get black flagged.
Imo, just the airbox should sort it :)
As your running only slightly over the limits, and the airbox should take a fair lot of noise out the induction.
collected the backing plate today, as they said they had the airbox, but didnt lol hey ho
i can continue cutting that in half, and making the tabs to mount them half way up my trumpets ala lee303
You should be ok without your changes at Rockingham
received the CD of full res images today, so I thought i'd post them up in my diary to remember I went
only took 16, as i was only out for 20laps or so, but I'm happy with a few of them
Enjoy... ps: the 2nd one is my personal fave

Olly, you see those eyelet's you fitted:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc0267.jpg
Are they just fitted by drilling through the transmission tunnel, placing a spreader plate underneath, and then screwing the eyelet through the hole into the plate?
Are the plates welded to the floor??
hole drilled through transmission tunnel, with a threaded spacer plate underneath, loctite'd on :) same with the 5th/6th mounts that are under the seats themselves :)
Ok, cool. :)
sweet car mate.
not exactly an update, but something nonetheless :)
just getting things ready for when the airbox arrives
marked central point horizontally on backing plate

slice down the middle, then just because i'm a tart, i opened out the holes a little more so i can add rubber edging so i wouldn't get vibrations on the trumpets
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc0622.jpg
half done
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc0623.jpg
other side done
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc0624.jpg
bought some 5mm ID alloy tubing from B&Q to make the spacers up, and that should be sorted then!
and I've also now got one of these badboys:

Looking good mate.
Any gen on the bung ?
Were at Bruntingthorpe on monday and as you may of seen in the vids I posted the car is rather noisy
seen the pod vids, but thats it ?
not received the exhaust bung on the previous page - altho received the silencer box above today...
thinking about this airbox, i dont think its going to be as easy fit as Lee's (lee303) was... trunking will foul on the washer bottle in the standard place, which is no bother, as i can remove that, however I noticed only recently that he doesnt run a standard servo/ mc/ brake fluid res bottle, which is where the airbox is going to hit - so i might well be selling the box on lol
Cant you run the airbox entry over the drivers side instead?
Yep I meant the pod vids, its not quiet at all now.
Where did you get the silencer for, whats the od on the pipe (fitment end)
I was reading a friends copy of PVW yesterday and one of the products they reviewed was an electronic exhaust valve, works basically like a porsche one, leave it in standard mode and it's nice and quite (good for motorway driving ;)) and then flick a switch and hear the full bark of the exhaust. It was about ?130 and seem very well made/manufactured. I'll find the name if you interested.
I read the same article, it would do exhausts upto 6" too iirc !
prices were from ?130 I think though
Still cheaper the a whole exhaust system I suppose...
I'll probably end up fitting one with my new exhaust, more to cut out the drone on long trips e.g the ring.
The increase in back pressure could fook an engine which is really why i'm not so keen on using one on ours considering what were doing with our car.
What Rick Draper had made for his nova turbo is what you need ideally although I wouldn't want to be following him when it falls off mid corner lol
Hayward and Scott make very high quality exhaust systems, I know several people with exhausts from them who's cars aren't that noisy at all.
You get what you pay for though, like anything really.
I cant see the airbox being a problem on your car Olz, should fit fine
regarding the airbox - i bladdy hope so - else i'll have to sell it on and have a re-re-rethink again lol
just check out pics of lee303s, and you'll see what i mean about the exit of the box hovers where the brake fluid res bottle should be.
can't run it drivers side as it prodrudes out the side of the bodies too much and would deffo foul on the strut
big balls of fire
basically, got the airbox today and it doesn't fit at all. completely fouls the brake fluid resevoir bottle and cap.
had a rethink, and rather than mounting the backing plate half way up the 90s in order to keep them, i thought, i'll swap to 45s, and mount it directly on the trumpets as it should be - still fouled tho - even worse than before.
anyone have any other ideas of an airbox style thing to reduce the induction roar?
:(
that was an expensive test now wasn't it lol bloody ?231.94! :( :wtf:
Have you tried it over the drivers side?
Definently wont fit there either?
yup, tried that, and for how much it protrudes horizontally, it almost hits my bonnet strut lol
Remove the brake servo and use a corsa set up. Weight saver too:thumb:
But he has the fuel swirl pot etc etc where the corsa setup would need to go.
And a corsa setup means you need to make up new brake lines for the car to fit the new mc position....
