Couple of quick questions - Does a standard 3R pass the noise test at Bedford trackdays?
For future reference, would it pass with a Roush Exhaust?

Greg, think you will struggle at Bedford..mine failed last year ( the time i turned up the wrong day!!) Saying that Nathan got black flaged that day for noise in his CSL, so it might have been the weather conditions playing a part.
RobP is the best bet to answer your question.

Thanks guys. I'm booked up at Bedford in May and hope to get the green sticker. Bedford can be a funny place - in my previous car I received a green sticker 4 times and red sticker twice. Felt like pot luck.

Cat's in, you might make it. Cat's out, not a snow flakes chance in hell! I ran my M400 at Donington cat's out and the sound monitor bloke nearly p155ed himself. He thought it was highly amusing just how comprehensively I destroyed their noise limit.

Won't the scilencer pipes fix the problem?

I don't mind switching pipes at the back for TD's but I can't be arsed with swopping cats in and out!

I was assuming I could leave them out and run the scilencer pipes on TD's.

I'm gonna do you a REAL BIG FAVOUR, our Greg. So you won't get royally screwed at track days, I'll swop my standard 3R pipework (which is newer than the stuff you just took off) for your Rouche kit. How does that sound?

Without cats i set off three alarms (the forth one was broken)nine times in one lap, when i was going down the back streight i was still setting off the alarm oppisite the pits. The marshall couldnt keep a streight face and the bloke on the radio was doing his nut. it was a freebie so it didnt matter.

I'm afraid it won't be newer as I have the M400 pipework on at the mo.

Its going to the highest bidder too btw.

Gary tells me its in very good nic.

He also tells me he has already put both cats in!

Can't wait to pick it up. He has found a few issues with it that explain all the things that I didn't like about the cars performance and handling.

Not looking forward to getting the bill though!! eek

The most I've registered was at a static pre race check at Donington without CATS ... 108 dB.
I now take a spare set of tailpipes just in case but typically it's quieter in the drive by tests so haven't used them yet.

But without CATS at Bedford ... rofl ... I think I'll be doing more test days from now on. Apart from anything else you don't have to form a queue behind people who won't move over for faster traffic.

Greg, cats in and additional tail pipe silencers on, you might be alright. I seem to recall the cats drop noise a lot with minimal affect on power. Didn't drive mine with cats out for long before fitting them just to quieten the thing down!

Has anyone got some of the scilencers?

Did you retain yours Neil?

Be nice to borrow a set on good friday for Bedford just incase I need to pop them on. I'm sure Sinclairs would swop them over for me. (wouldn't want to get my hands dirty!!)

I don't think he has them any more IIRC. I thought they went to someone else like adrian w or chilidog. Could be wrong though.
