Db killer and emmissions
Has anyone fitted a db killer and then found that it has changd the emmissions?
Had a horrible thought over night and IVA retest is tommorow!
The emmissions test is at idle somim not expecting it to change anything other than the noise.
Thanks

Shouldn't be an issue, IVA ed my car with a db killer fitted and went through emissions. Presumably the db killer is after the cat and lambda
sensor?

no cat or lambda and is on carbs, so hopefully will be allowed to make an adjustment if need be....

Ahh, so you're going for the early engine, 'easy' emissions test then? I can't see the DB killer having any effect so you
should be okay.

With the carbs emission test I would be staggered if the db killer made any significant difference to emissions - make sure you take some form of
packing to put in b4 the db killer in case it's still not quiet enough
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

from the sound tests I have done of before and after the DB killer in the tail pipe it dropped it by 6db. That's with a calibrated meter.
Just got the issue of the db killer being in the tail pipe and the tester not being able to get the probe completely in the exhaust, so playing safe
and putting it at the manifold end instead.
I cant fail tomorrow as my 6 months is up on 4th Jan!!

It'd have to make a fairly significan restriction in flow to affect cylinder fill enough to be a problem.

it certainly put the CO levels up by about 1% in the end and the HC PPM
Still made it through ok in the end

I had decibel killers in my V8 at the IVA and it literally saled through the emissions test. In fact it was so good the tester commented on it
