Fit an air box, they really quieten itbs

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.

 

A track will only test the exhaust dB level. The issue with the induction is, it is only apparent on drive by noise which can't be checked until you drive by.

Ah, this is true, something Bob from Javelin warned me about. Will have to wait and see then I guess. Anyway, I should probably stop talking about my Jedi and keep this thread a little darker ;)

I keep away from the tracks that are strict on noise. I can run either with or without the airbox so if I can get away with it I'll ditch it but it's slightly more comfortable driving to and from tracks with it on.

Sounds interesting, will probably need some advice if you don't mind when I get it on the road, should only be 2-3 weeks now until I'm legally able to drive it.
