Couldnt decide where to post this. Basically for the track day I am doing next month at donington, the car cant be over 98db.

I know mine is quite loud, so i'm a little concerned. Its straight pipe from the manifold all the way to a cherry bomb backbox (was a quick fix to replace a very holed one, but does sound quite nice ) Its a 2.0 pinto engine. Has anyone had there's noise tested and how did you get on?

Put a nice lump of stainless steel wool in the exhaust, heard that lowers the noise a bit. Then wip it out as you go onto the track

Then watch for the black flag coming out. They're not stupid. Get a box to fit in the straight pipe, just cut a section out and clamp it in.

Not unless you get the engine running!!!

(Sorry, couldn't resist...)



You have exhaust length on your side, which most Locosts don't have, and that will help. But I personally doubt that a small straight through cherry bomb will be enough to get on/stay on track at an average Donington trackday TBH...
