Popular Post IgEvo400 Posted February 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Hi thought it would be worth while posting my experiences with upgrading my 400. I desperately wanted to be able to use the car on track without the noise worries we all suffer with so is been in contact with Dave Hackett at Hangar111 reguarding his development of the quiet system. We got the car booked in and also fitted the komotec 460bhp kit at the same time. The work took 2 days ans diving home tge car felt immediately stronger throughout the rev range, but it had lost the evora exhaust Bark in favour of supercharger whine and more of a Jet roar. Different but profoundly quieter, a new experience altogether. I took the car on track at Oulton yesterday. Static terested at 92. (It used to be 110+) so well inside the 95 limit. On track. It felt FAST! but also it was easier to concentrate on lines braking and all tge rest of it without so much noise! All in all a highly recommended mod and a must if you want to get out on the majority of UK tracks without any Noise infringement issues.

Bravo73 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Good to hear about the exhaust. But, just as importantly, what’s the story behind your rear wing(s)???!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IgEvo400 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ahh. Yep rear wing and carbon front splitter all my own work. I own a carbon manufacture company making cycle components www.rockguardz.Com I really liked what lotus did with the GT430. Couldn't afford one so decided to get busy over the Christmas break and make my own. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuteronomy316 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 That's pretty slick fabrication work. That should be duplicated and sold on this forum! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmac Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Car looks great, I may tap you up in time for some carbon! Quick question, are your sills and roof wrapped or painted? I ask as I want mine wrapped and as I'm not far from you I wondered if you had someone trusted locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangar 111 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks Ian, glad to hear it all went to plan and you can exploit the car to the full on the track without worrying about the noise - car looks good Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM CocoPops Posted February 13, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 So was the exhaust fitted before or after 460 kit? Do you know if it made any difference to the standard “400”?

Likuid Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Me wants that splitter.

I havnt any back to back times for oulton unfortunately. However i had no understeer and the car get especially settled rounds fast corners like Druids which is usually slippery. I was very happy how it felt. It handled superbly with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof is painted and sills are wrapped. It's the standard Black Pack option on the 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if it made any difference to the standard “400”? I had thge 460 kit fitted at the same time. But Dave @ Hangar111 did do back to back dyno tests with the stock exhaust after the kit had been fitted. The QT can gave slightly more power than the stock exhaust so I expect the same is true on the standard 400hp car. The QT can does flow slightly higher numbers on the flow bench so the results were expected but was also good to see that Hangar111's theory working in reality.
