Thanks SteveP; I'll look them up after Easter.

Cheers

Unfortunately I can no longer take Steve up on his great offer. In preparation, I'd ordered a Roush quad rear valance which is now surplus to requirements (as single tips will look daft in it).

It's here, landed in the UK. I need to work out the exact price as it was part of a larger consignment (see my Fedex thread).

Only looking to get back what I paid for it with duty etc. Other than opening the box to make sure it was undamaged (it was) it is of course brand spanking new.

Due to its size - it's very expensive to get one shipped from the states!

PM me if interested.

Pretty sure [MENTION=19911]Cati[/MENTION] was buying one? May have already ordered tho

Exhaust thread so exhaust info below;

Noise
The external noise emitted by passenger cars has been controlled since 1929 when the Motor Cars (Excessive Noise) regulations were introduced. New cars are now required to meet Europe-wide noise limits. These have been progressively reduced from 82 decibels (dB (A)) in 1978 to the current limit of 74 dB (A) established in 1996. This means it would take 7 new vehicles to make the same amount of noise as one vehicle that just meets the pre-1978 limits. Information on the level of noise recorded for new models of cars at their type approval test is also listed in the data table.

When looking at this information please note that off-road vehicles are allowed to be 1dB (A) louder, as are direct-injection diesels. These allowances are cumulative, so the limit for an off-road vehicle with a direct injection diesel engine is 76 dB (A).

The noise levels quoted above are the maximum levels that are permitted for new vehicle types. Many vehicles produce lower levels of noise, and it is illegal to modify the exhaust system of a vehicle to make it noisier than the level recorded for that model at type approval.

A new EU regulation is being introduced from July 2016, Regulation (EU) No 540/2014, which will phase in tighter noise limits over 10 years, together with a revised, more representative test procedure. By 2026 the limit for most new passenger cars will be 68 dB(A).

The above was taken from here http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/fcb/cars-and-noise.asp and I came across it because I was trying to find dB readings for the various exhausts on the market. Interestingly is the part in red.

hmmmmmm ..... Brexit, anyone? ....

 

[avocet]

Brexit anyway!

 

[Manders Mustang]

Bah-humbug, well, they better get their decibel readers out, the scrounges!

 

[stiggy]

Taking the 'letter of the law' - won't be modifying it - will be replacing it

Haha 68dB, that would only be enforceable on brand new cars in 2026, cannot enforce it on older stuff because factory cars such as Jag F-Type are vastly louder than 68dB.

Don't even worry about it.

A well made point, good sir.

..... Brex-IN! ... Brex-IN! ....

 

[SteveS]

Here you go (as measured on my development car)

OE = 84.3db

EC Approved (Dual & Quad) = 87.2db

X-Pipe (Dual) = 99.2db
X-Pipe (Quad) = 99.8db

All measured at 3750rpm 1/2 meter away from the tips at 45 degree angle

I'm confused. How does this tie in with SteveP's post at the top? Not overly concerned though.

:shrug:

 

[kapiteinlangzaam]

Bit of a thread bump.....

Has any progress been made on either:

a) the valved system

or

b) mini-resonator system

Thanks
