oh Dave!

That drainpipe of yours will never get under 100 db, it nearly shattered my windscreen just following you the other week ;)

You need to find a standard rear box my friend...

Hi Dave

The standard rear box shouldn\'t do any harm in the short term, it will just produce a bit more back pressure than normal. Unless you\'re absolutely caning it to within an inch of its life for a considerable time of course ;)

Fishy uses his on track days with no problems - and doesn\'t get black flagged like the rest of us noisy gits!
