How Fast are Briskoda?

[Harry_vRS]

I'm actually beginning to debate whether to actually go now or not. Clearly my car is going to be far too loud, and I've left it too late to get sorted. :(

Phone a couple of motorsport companies, find an exhaust decibel killer, pick it up Saturday, slap it on Sunday, arrive for fun Monday.

[BossFox]

For example:

Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe do a "Merlin Mild Steel Muffler", top of page 53 in the catalogue. (how's that for service!)

It's an extra muffler you attach to the end of your exhaust to lower the decibel level.

Come on, sort it out !!

PS. I've got no idea where you are based...

No, no, no, we don't want Monday to be asking

@BossFox @devonutopia

My EML is on atm for a glow plug fault. However i have xhanged the glow plug (number one) and the EML light is still on. Any chance of clearing it for me on Monday?

Cheers,

Come on Harry

Dont throw in the towel yet

(is that enough Bruno connections?)

I'm sure there will be some one who can either post it today or you can pick it up before Monday.

Just remind me - Are your end pipes oval?

This looks easy to fit and they do next day delivery. Granted it might cost a bit extra for a saturday delivery but you can salvage the day after all. http://www.advantage...e-exhausts.html

Weather forecast is deteriorating, which isn't good. :(

Forgot about this,might put the winters on now!! see you all monday

[Harry_vRS]

Thanks for the hyperlinks. A mate is bringing a proper dB tester to me later so we'll see what the results are. TBH I'd be better just not going than spending the fuel and expense getting it sorted if it's too loud. Gutted

[BossFox]

It's only a bit of light rain.

[BossFox]

Sounds like you are preparing not to come Harry, which is a shame.

I was looking forward to beating you.

[Harry_vRS]

Well I hope I do still go. Wipe that smile off your face(s)

[octimark]

Stick a few oily rags up the exhaust. Job done

[Harry_vRS]

I'm still going to come, not going to be put off by this. I'm not convinced of the accuracy of an iPhone dB meter. People have said in previous posts (in this thread) that their cars are louder and have passed tests easily. Would shoving rags up the exhaust not hinder my performance though?

[BossFox]

Only until you rev it for the sound test and they fly out.

[Harry_vRS]

Ok, I didn't realise this, but there are two weightings to dB readings, A & C. I have purchased a new app with A weighting which MSV use, and the results are as follows:

[BossFox]

Was that at 3/4 max revs or whatever they use?

[Harry_vRS]

Held at 5 grand with the phone 50cm away

[octimark]

I'd risk it if your that close.

[Harry_vRS]

Loads of leeway. 5k is as loud as it gets, I'm confident now

[BossFox]

You're not actually that close. Decibels are not measured on a flat scale, it's a curve.

So 100 is not 5% more than 95. You are quite a bit under going by that reading.

[Harry_vRS]

Yep, I know. I'm a sound engineer...

[BossFox]

Yep, I know. I'm a sound engineer...

Oooops!

Race you on Monday then.

[Brimma]

Yep, I know. I'm a sound engineer...

I nearly fell off my chair then

[Harry_vRS]

See you Monday

Here's to good weather

[Brimma]

I'm ready
