Prototype under way,

Slot on bolt head so I know where butterfly is...




Fully closed





1/2 open





Going to try it on car later today, will update and confirm, good idea or bad idea.

I have a Decibel Meter if you want to borrow it Jon? I'm in New Whittington.

I vaguely remember you were talking about a locking nut to fix it in place, where will that end up? And I'm guessing it won't be a nyloc nut, I can't imagine it staying locked once the exhaust is up to temperature!

there are two, one above and one below, just ran it up acustafil still needs to fully expand but just with it in place the noise as come down, 101 in iPhone app at 8k revs down to 97 with it closed, seems like result.


40inches u2u me a number to contact you on, a proper meter as to be better than iPhone app

Can you spot the deliberate mistake ?




I put the bolt in wrong way around, the bold head is on the underside, now the disc is welded to the bolt cant move it, never mind.





101 max fully open on iPhone app at 8k revs, even with it in place but open there is a definite difference from before, maybe it altering flow enough to make more use of the silencer, dunno ?
