TAFKARM Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Andrew is wise, go down before hand and ask for a test. What size is your can and has it been repacked? Quote

From their website: Noise limit: STRICT100db(A), which is measured at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet at 4500rpm ***Please Note: We do not recommend the use of sound monitoring apps or third party decibel meters as they do not give a true reading and cars will still need to be noise tested*** If you're only 20mins away, why not pop along when there's a trackday on, and get you car tested? Good idea @Andrew I see if I can match a day off to good weather to track day testing... Quote
Rob the Red Top Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I may along to Donnington and ask them to test my car... I had no issues at Blyton but I was worried about Bedford even though I do enjoy it... Is Oulton Park not to strict then as they always were when I was there on my bike.. Quote

Donington uses drive by noise metering. They say their 98 drive by is close to 105db static. It's worth asking if they'll give you a test though.. As far as I know most other circuits are 105db static. I don't think Oulton is any different to others.. maybe they don't like noisy bikers. Quote

I was 105 static at Cadwell and I have carried out some work on the exhaust to shut it up a bit so I could be ok.... Quote

Standard westfield 5" initial build Can (6 years and 6K miles) not been re-packed as welded bold ends. I was thinking about getting a Simpsons Race Exhausts 6" repackable silencer only? Quote
TAFKARM Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 That might be quite loud, it’s probably got no packing left! Wunoff are a good alternative to a Simpson can if you’re feeling a little less spendy. They made me a bespoke one a little longer than normal for a very reasonable price. Quote
CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 @Archibald Meatpants cheers, I'll give them a call - it is VERY loud! Quote
