Bandageman Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Got a new alarm system in the house with an extra sensitive CO sensor in the garage where my gas boiler is situated. Problem is that’s where the wee car lives, so I had to devise a bypass exhaust extension. I was able to fashion this over a few weeks by trial and error out of my eBay habit. My experience might help others in same position, or just to avoid CO poisoning when running the car in their garage. Parts: 2M length of wide bore silicon flexi pipe ”L” bend wide bore silicon pipe Reducing silicon adapter for inside flexi pipe and L bend high temp silicon to seal inside pipes Clamps and large jubilee clips to secure pipes and L bend to exhaust edge The above setup now allows me to work indoors with doors shut if engine is running without setting off CO alarm.👍 pm if anyone wants more info. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Good work! We set off a similar alarm in the underground carpark beneath the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart in 2019! Not surprising with how long it take to get 4 Westies moving with steering wheels, harnesses bluetooth headsets, satnav's and phones etc. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 You could sell that as a “Trackday Silencer”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think the fact it would need to move a disadvantage, then I thought you've got someone slow in mind, that it could work for 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
