Vanqush too noisy for donnington :)

[pesty]

Was doing my impression of valentino today at donnington and during teh break a guy took his Vanquish on teh track much respect.

Anyway they told him off cos it was too noisy and broke the regulations

Any 1 here?

I agree. I spotted one locally last weekend. I heard it before I saw it..

I suppose you get what you pat for. The sports exhausts costs £12K I think!!

The exhaust on a vanquish always soudns like that. I am not sure about an aftermarket option.

The exhaust splits into 2 just before the rear silencer, controlled by something looking like a dump valve. At slow engine speed (or slowly openign the throttle) the gasses are diverted into the exhaust, passing all worldwide exhaust noise regs. At higher engine speed (or idle, or snap open the throttle) the exhausts bypass the silencer and exit out the back.

Very clever stuff...

Ummm. That is pretty interesting!! That engine note is very special either way.
