Hi, I've recently had my Kakimoto GT 1.0z Titanium Exhaust noise tested at Brands Hatch and it failed at 113.4db near 6000rpm.
I'm after short and long term suggestions about what I can do next. The exhaust is a one piece unit so the back box is not removable. In the short term I wanted to take part in the taster sessions at Brands on August 5th. Would a bung or baffle do the job? Is there anything to worry about when using one of these and driving a car fairly hard round a track? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silencer-D...item336ee7d583 In the long term, I'm after suggestions for a quieter exhaust for my V4 classic. ![]() Thanks Alan ![]() |

Neil at Slowboy (atleast i think it was Neil) recommended I didn't drive car hard with bung in.
I have a japspeed flanged 2.5 inch back box you can borrow if you can source a loan middle section to put on. |

Not sure that's H&S.
As Alyn said the hangers look H&S but they don't tend to weld the pipes together in sections as the above has just on front of the backbox. Instead they mandrel bend them. I have never known them to do a slip jointed system and I bought my first H&S product back in 2001 when they first started Scooby backboxes. They have always had the much easier to install/remove flange fitments. Revolution do a 3" slip jointed system which I believe was/is made by Mongoose, but I've never seen one off the car, so not sure what hangers it uses. These are good systems but a fair bit cheaper new then the equivalent H&S. |

Thanks Alyn. I wasn't quite sure.
Mongoose, Scorpion (who I think made the Prodrive Box and also the TSL Grp'N'), Magnex and even Scoobyworld/H&S can all be a bit incestuous. Although some of the above 'Brands' no longer exist. Do Tube Torque still exist. They used to be big of Fords, as had a nice system on my Series 1 Turbo years back...... |

So if it is a Mongoose or Revolution is £250 now overpriced? I'm also presuming it would be quieter than my present system
