Baffle for racecan
After driving over 1000 miles to 'the ring' and back (with no breakdowns ) with a straight through racecan (and the other cars in convoy
complaing about the noise) my ears were ringing!!
Talking to a biker at work he suggested a racecan baffle ??
A quick look on e-skip and voila, very reasonable at just over a tenner very locost! plus 24hr delivery!
car seems to be more eager in the lower part of the rev range, might have picked up a bit more torque? It's a lot better driving in town anyway
and a LOT less noisy
Baffle linky
Forgot to mention an absolute piece of pi$$ to fit ! and easy to take off for loud days!

mmm, ive heard bad things about these! apparently a few becs a trackdays have blown their engines up whilst using these and have put it down to
resistance of hot gases getting out? sounds feasible! but ive not used one. I think it was on the westfiels forum i read it, have a look mate!

They are just the same as what you get with the big exhaust systems for the jap sportscars.. i had one that came with my Blitz Nur spec- Cat back
system.. it made quite a difference to the noise output

I have used one of those on my last couple of track days. They drop the noise by about 3-5 db. The down side is that they kill the horse power above
8k along with an increase in engine temp due to the high back pressure. I wouldnt want to use it for long track sessions.

I've got a rolling road session at the end of the month, so will find out with and without the baffle about temps and power/torque
If it doesn't fit MODIFY it!!
