£65 exhaust that I bolt on to meet noise limits, maybe needed a couple of times a year

OR

£500 on a new system to bring it down under the db limit all year.

hmmm, tough one? Not really tbh.

Come on James, there are lots of full systems that will fall well under the db limit at tracks.

But as said, Dave cannot afford this currently, so it'll have to do...

But its begging for a PS of some sort

how much is a full twin box system with the correct bore for a xe of daves spec ? £600

this was £100 tops id imagine

am i missing the point here

jr what is there not to get? read Daimo's post s-l-o-w-l-y and you may get it, hes saying it may do the job but it doesnt look good, just like Floral wallpaper.

Analogy:

1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
2. similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.

now you're really being an idiot, daimo was expressing his opinion and you didnt understand his analogy so I explained it to you. This is nothing about not expressing your opinions

really havent got time to have an argument over me saying something is a well known fix in track day circles etc, whilst 99% of people disagree about how a track day car looks, where as in reality people really dont give a shit

most situations you will be given a warning and then chucked or a trackday for noise levles, no refunds, no second chances, places like bedford have live noise meters which when tripped notify the council, and thats it, your day over, i would pay £100 and get loads more track time in than pay £600 and not be able to afford to get any days in, just like i have done

Blimey James, you in a stinker mood today

Check what i've written, and what you've written

Floral wallpaper was an example.
AS in, you can get wallpaper, that is cheap, looks terrible, but it does the job of covering the walls (i.e Daves exhaust, cheap, looks bad, but does the job).

OR

You can get higher quality wallpaper, costs more, but looks much better, but overall does the same job (another system, more money, same job, but looks much better).

That better for you fella

Daimo, the first owner of my backbox paid well over £200 squid for it, so not exactly cheap in the first instance

Or £15 on some wadding, cut open your silencers, pack them out, then weld them back up.

Will that ENSURE it will make it as quiet as I need it to be? No.

Do I have a welder? No.

So not easier, or cheaper, or with a guarantee.

So Dave drives to track with standard noisy exhaust

Dave gets to track fits Leyland DAF silencer

Dave drives around track with silencer

Dave finishes track day without any noise issues

Dave removes silencer at track

Dave drives home with standard exhaust

WTF is wrong with some of you idiots honestly

...and I don't think this looks anymore stupid than the ridiculous silencers that Coombe dish out that rub along the ground and look like a 20 inch floppy cock dragging behind your car.
