First trackday in the 400 since I bought it last year - should probably have checked if it would pass the noise tests first but I've complete faith in what Lee told me when I picked it up!

Bravo73 1,347 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Stock exhaust? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Monument 790 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 @Gashead1105 if you local worth popping down to the track for a noise test Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gashead1105 308 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 No, its a 2bular. Quieter than OE,and there are some cans to. Lee did a couple of trackdays while he had it. I'm about an hour or so from Snetterton. @Hangar111@Hangar111 do you have a noise test meter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M4rk 160 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good job its not a stock exhaust because that would be a definite fail at Snetterton on a 400 🙂 I might look at this day, its always good to have a weekend track day. My only doubt is I've found Javelin days to be very busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gashead1105 308 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Well, if it's going to be too loud I can always take the station snotter. Anyone overtaken by a 307 diesel on ditchfinders should hang their head in shame! I've never had any issues with Javelin. Always been a good day out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gashead1105 308 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 It's wet. It's windy. There's very little grip. Quite a lot of fun even so... But tripped the drive by noise meter on the third run and been black flagged! See if the cans make a difference after lunch... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gashead1105 308 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Cans didn't help so I just had passenger rides in the afternoon. Guess I need to investigate an even quieter 2bular before I do another UK trackday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I need to investigate an even quieter 2bular before I do another UK trackday I believe Bedford is one of the toughest circuits for noise. Sorry to hear it did not go too well for you. Did they give you a DB rating as I'd be keen to know. Thanks. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

Stuart Monument 790 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 @Gashead1105 just twigged it was your 400 today. Even looked at your exhaust, did you put additional silencers on? It sounded great and not as loud as other 400’s. I shoukd have come to say hello, I was testing in a C1 for the 24hr race. Very wet and cold but a great day. Ps your car looked ace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gashead1105 308 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 @C8RKH was Snetterton. Yeah, the cans didn't help. Static tested in the morning at 96db, so thought I was in good shape. Then did 3 runs, they flagged me on the 3rd run, they were doing their best and hoping the rain would dampen the sound, but ran out of leeway in the end. I hit 96 on the drive by. 92 is the limit at Snet, which is pretty standard. Before I do the next one in the UK I will look to get one of the QP ones. Not sure when that will be of course, and will probably be Spa next to be honest... @Stuart Monument aw, thanks. Yeah, it's not as loud as a normal one - @Gm77was there with me in his wife's Focus because his OE 400 has no hope of passing - but still too loud in the end. They wouldn't let me back out even, I put the cans on but they weren't enough to make a difference, not to quieten it by 4db anyway! Also I was a bit careless on the static noise testing and managed to ring up 104db! So as it was louder than I achieved in the morning, that was that for the day. Not worth arguing about. I amused myself abusing Greg's driving from the passenger seat of the focus instead. I'd love to do something like the C1 racing. Not got the time though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Monument 790 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 That’s a shame about the noise test but good they were helpful . I hope you get it sorted for your next day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
