"Noisy" exhausts
lambert:
That said the 170 of the bike does not have to push the better part of two tonne about. :D
As to free flow that is true to a point but the point here is extremes and by definition too much of owt is just that. :D
Bulli:
just what does that have to do with it?
it makes more torque than a golf gti aswell.....
im not saying that load exhausts are better im simply pointing out the flaw in the load exhausts reduce power theory....
oh and on bikes i firmly believe that load pipes save lives!!
Ja1983:
i suspect the main aim is to reduce the small engined cars that appaer to have driven over a bucket... namely by the noise on a par with an elephant farting down a megaphone, and the aforementioned bucket clinging onto the rear bumper with string.... remains of a mop perhaps?
i fi was woken in the early hours by a bucket back corsa, with less than 4 cylinders under the bonnet, i`d be cross... if i was woken by a large V8 at full chat with a full 3" stainless i`d be much less inclined to throw a half charlie at it.
I do know of a lancia delta HF integrale 16 with a huge turbo which is under order of the council to be switched off and rolled down the street where it lives as people were complaining of picture falling off walls etc.... so fair dos really, i`ve been stood nearby when its idling and struggle to hear the person next to me speak.. hell of a motor tho!
GREENI:
I had a Clio V6 with a Quicksiler OMG exhaust, OMG stood for Oh My God, I was warned about having one as they boom in side the cab, and were particularly noisy...
I thought, well I've had Westfields and SD1's with side exit exhausts, it wont be that bad...£500 later...Oh My God !!!!!
We went from home to Pembrey Race circuit, and the wife and I 'had' to wear ear plugs...
It made it drive a little better, and from the outside it sounded awesome...
It spoilt the car for me :cry:

Just like the gorgeous 'burble' of a big Yank V8??
--- Quote from: "burgerman" ---I personally have no issues with a specific noise level/test , at random or mot, as long as its sensible, Lets face it most modern Sports saloon cars have a "fruity " note to them

Like the Astons, with the (factory-fitted) 'bypass valve' in the system?? :lol:
