Still following this thread with interest despite having sold my Prodrive STi, and all its doing is making me want a lottery win to get another!!

I think il have to get in on some track days soon though to try and hone my skills first of all!

These are just a teaser as the car is minging and i need to take some proper pics.

Here you can see the quality of Simpsons work. Its stunning. The welds are perfect, the fit is perfect and the sound is bang on. Still has a smooth rumble up to about 3krpm.. afetr that its get quieter the higher you go. I wanted maximum flow and them to get the system as quiet as possible.

Static 5Krpm @ 1 meter distance we recorded 91.5dB
Drive by WOT approx 130mph we recorded 87.7dB from about 10 meters away.

These pics do it absolutely no justice at all.

Pipework is 0.6mm lightweight stainless, ID 3" dia. The only joint is connected with a V-Band clamp for seamless flow, there is a 5"x7" race silencer in the centre and a 7" dia repacakable race silencer at the rear.

The icing on the cake though is the 3.5" bent down exhaust outlet. It was a gamble but i absolutely love it it looks mental.

Looks weird mate - but it looks awesome, love it when people do something different 8)

Great results with the noise testing level, shouldn't have any problems on the strictest of tracks now

Quiet enough for Bedford so that s good enough for me

frayz - it does look different but the main thing is how well it flows versus the obvious lowering of decibel volume. That is the main result with a thumbs up in both cases 8)
