Mmmm, 60BHP loss in the transmission seems a little high. No doubting the gains though, especially around 2500-3000rpm.

When are you trying the Milltek?

The thicker power and torque lines are the Supersprint run.

I did consider this and will try and get a reading of both the Milltek and the Supersprint (provided Powerstation have access to the equipment).

The Milltek is designed to pass the lower 96db days like Combe, and I think from personal experience, the Supersprint would struggle, but would probably be ok on the louder 105db days like Angrysea.

Obviously, although you may pass the static tests, you still might run into trouble getting black flagged for noise out on track. Cant remember which tracks have sound buckets though... Think those with carbon airboxes will probably have just as much of a problem no matter what exhaust they run!

I don't think it will be long before Mr Plod does a free noise check for me!

Actually it's the other way round, I threatened to publish these pictures I have of him and he could only stop me with sufficient compensation.
Not quite sure if I get it fitted for the Ring trip as I haven't got a back box for it (......yet )

Yep I can concur that the noise is amazing, as Simon so eleqoently put it 

And it actually makes a bit of power - hopefully it will benefit further mods.

I loved driving the Ewok before. Now I think I am in love with the Ewok

Carbon airbox should sound quite nice coupled with this system!

Where's those lucky lottery numbers!

Have a word with Adrian H. I is having his own Grp A Manifold being built and has also had his own exhaust made. His motor though is putting out 320 hp. 2.5 spec, built by himself.

Hi Toby,

Things have changed over the last couple of weeks and due to a new business venture, my car and engine may be going up for sale  . There is another thread running on this http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=27649&a mp;PN=1

Obviously I don't want to do this but I may be forced to do so to help fund the new venture.

Adrian

nick, I run a supersprint mild steel centre and race back box + carbon airbox and Alpha N, and I am very happy so far, setup on the road with WB so no dyno charts, so post your print out.
