Title: Teapotspeed Racing Exhaust System!
Post by: Mike The W on November 22, 2012, 03:20:31 PM
Oh noess!! The FD3 is TOO NOISY and the neighbours are forming a lynch mob! :Grrr

I need an exhaust bung and I need one quick!

Reckon I could improvise something if only I had a bit of 115mm stainless tube, but where to get some? :2Confused

I need a nice morale-boosting cuppa ...

Hang on a minute!!

Mr Teapot, time for you to make the supreme sacrifice ...

I think a downwards-pointing exit is called a "Dolphin Tip"?  Well now meet the PG Tip..

Seriously nice work, being able to McGuyver something like that and yet have it fit nicely and do it\'s job is very impressive.

//www.teapotspeed.com is still available - better grab it quick ;-)

Yes, it did help - it removed a lot of the boominess at tickover and shuffling about speeds which is what I wanted coz that\'s annoying for the neighbours.

No doubt it will be sapping power, so I am planning to do a proper job with a bigger and better silencer. I guess at that point I\'ll have to try welding the poor teapot back together again so I can get a decent brew. :Thumbs-up
