Noise testing

[chimhunter]

All,

I recently had the silencing removed on the Chim. I also bought some slip on silencers to try and get me back down to sub 100dB. Does anyone know somewhere that I can get the car noise tested in the south-east, preferably North West Kent? I want to know what I'm running without silencers and then what I'm running with...

Thanks,

Rob

I went along to Brands Hatch when there was a trackday (either Easytrack or Book a track, can't remember which) and got my car noise tested for free. Just turned up and they were more than happy to help!

you can also hire one from BOOKATRACK.COM

for £9 for a wekk or so. Includes postage too.

Thanks guys. I'll get myself down to Brands at some point. My grandma lives that way as well so I'll be a good boy and see her too.

Got a griff with sports box ( fernhurst conversion, think no silencing), want to go track day, not been before, don't want to spend money on slip on mufflers for what may be a one off event.

Anyone got these to fit a griff 500 who wouldn't mind sharing if got a track day coming up or lending if in local area ( SE London/Kent)?

Cheers

I think you can buy digital noise meters on the net for about £20-£30, might be worth a try..

Coombe and Goodwood will also help you if you are nearer them.

Graham, they were only £45 plus VAT from Austec (originally ACT I think). And trust me, once you get out on track once will not be enough...

This doesnt answer your question but...

On Steve Heaths website in the FAQ bit he has a section on silencing.
For a link to the site look at the profile of shpub.
