hey guys!
so it's time for a little update again!
at a weekend a few weeks ago we measured over 93 dB on our exhaust system at full power, i believe it's even louder when the exhaust is really hot.
now the problem is i can only get the car street legal (homologated) when the car is not louder than 74dB that is almost around standard noise. this level is only needed for getting the documents for the car. once i have this i can get my car registered even louder. that's because i have the first EK9 in switzerland and is the measurement usually the main importeur will do for the persons... i'ts a bit complicated to explain swiss car-law, but in anyway i need to get my car down to 74dB in the beginning. so i bought those here:
1) 4x Suganuma Future creation Japan inner silencer (universal)
2) 1x Kakimoto racing universel muffler tip silencer
as i believe this is performance-related really crappy parts because the whole 60mm piping will be reduced to the smaller holes in the silencers but this will only be mounted for getting my documents. once i have this i will remove as much as possible. maybe i will leave the tip-silencer inside because it's really, really loud for a little turn
but on track etc there will surely be no silencers mounted.
anyway. next things to do will be getting the car street legal (goal is to have the number plates in August 2008!!) and of course next big issue will be the suspension setup. im thinking about a tein flex or something like that, because this one is allready avialeble with legal documents here in switzerland for EK civics.. we'll see - I'll keep you up2date!!
thanks - Nils
