    Exhaust noise...

    Got car running the other week with new exhaust on and @ approx 1200rpm the exhaust is 99db. Has anyone seen them flaps / valves you can put in the system to make quieter and open at higher revs. Tried google and eBay and all i can find is the flaps like tractors have

    search for exhaust cutout valve, theres also a version available that uses and actuator that makes the flap open the more the wastegate opens.

    We did use a iPhone application to take the reading so maybe that isn't as good as they say but it seemed to get quieter when we upped the revs.

    Will have to see about getting it tested before i book a track day, good old Maplins should do something. Not sure what the app was as deleted it but was 59p well spent

    Does have a certain sound to it though

    Na didn't get ripped off as didnt cost me a penny, there is wadding in the rear box but think i may need a middle box aswell. It actually gets quieter the higher the revs

    i dont think mine was that bad even when i ran a k-tec sidey with the box removed!

    did sound awesome on boost, and when you let off you could hear the turbo spooling down in the exhaust note
