Bike exhaust on 2 litre pinto!?!?
(yes i have already posted this on the BEC section!)
I have been given a carbon fibre can for free! It used to be on a Ducatti and i would like to use it on my MK Indy which will have a 2 litre pinto.
The question is the noise for SVA which needs to be 101db or below. I understand that these 'cans' can be packed and the more packing you
use the quieter the exhaust noise. Taking into account the lower revs from the pinto do you think i need to pack the living daylights out of it? If i
do will it make these cans pretty quiet?
Cheers in advance for any help

Although i have nowt against Tiger at all there does seem to be plenty of people with problems regarding the avon and all i read is positive remarks
regarding the indy........which is why i bought one i guess!
Andy - the bias one!

Oh yes vipers car does look the dogs..... but then so would most others too. Don't buy a kit based on the wheels will you!!!! If i was tempted
by tiger i would buy one of their other models. The bike version looks superb!.......or an Indy (go on you know it makes sense!!)

Chris.
Thanks for the compliments, but you would have to see the car in the flesh to understand why i feel the way i do, as i work in engineering and have
most of my working life and have my own buissiness ( Race support Services, we buid/maintain/run various race cars) i feel i am in a position to judge
bad welding practices, such as, porous and undercut welding (i am a Lloyds registered welder) chassis brackets in the wrong place, tubes missalinged
and out of square, the body work is non symetrical and a very poor finish, and just about every one on here has said how bad th R Champion book is
well the Tiger Avon book is no better at all. But quoting Tiger, The Book is not a build manuel (they don't do one ) and what do i expect from a
budget car any way?????
On the yahoo Tiger group people have been complaining of trailing arms SNAPPING!!!!!!!! (on a different model)
of course this is just my opinion (having heard of Tigers liking for litigation threats) and what would i know anyway...
oh one more thing all the wishbones and the rear uprights on my car were made by me and are not what you would get from Tiger...
moan over and thankyou for putting up with me....
