i would have got itbs if sound wasnt a problem

[gaffer1986]

Sound is the best part. I'm hoping they will let me on track though.

Sometimes I have a problem on trackdays with mine. Easily remedied with a bit of cardboard over the top of them to deflect the sound

Do you think it will be above a 100 then? When I took my girlfriend out in it the first thing she said was that noise can't be legal

what exhaust do you have

[gaffer1986]

2.5 Chris Tullet with 4-1 exhaust. That doesn't seem that loud but throttle bodies are.

Fit an air box, they really quieten itbs

[The Batman]

and reduce limited power

[vocky]

They do also steal 10bhp lol

[Doctor Ed]

A very well designed airbox on itbs can increase peak power by acting as a pulse plate An average airbox will be power neutral Only an awful airbox will lose you 10hp

the problem is where the airbox and itbs are... very hard when they are sat on the bulkhead

[haggi961]

Good to hear it's up and running now and the one thing you can't beat is that vtec noise and rev limter 😍

Haha, don't really want to make it quieter as the sound is my favourite part. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I may take it down to a track day before I pay for one and see if they'll test the noise for me.

I was thinking this, also probably wouldn't be able to check the oil.

[gaffer1986]
