    Check emissions when trumpet removed

    Same as my set up. Step 1: OEM setup > unplug vacuum pipe from trumpet. Step 2: Plug vacuum pipe with a small bolt. Step 3: Run a cold feed from lower grill upto trumpet. :thumbup:

    197: fuel costs?

    I get mid 20's mpg (22 to 28mpg) on 'my' normal driving. (95% motorway) around 280 miles a tank (thats from full till the red light comes on) However i have had 350 miles out of a tank (twice) when i went to silverstone. That was keeping to 70 and not booting it at all.

    Standard exhaust noise

    Think the only thing stopping me was i didn't want any loss of back pressure. I have thought about it now and prob will get it cut out.

    Standard exhaust noise

    Often thought the same thing, never walk anywhere so wouldn't know what it sounds like from outside. Someone needs to video one driving by.

    Acoustic valve on air feed??

    Yes and yes to the second part. I removed the whole unit when i first did mine but put it back on when i took it to Renault for its 1st service, after it was serviced i just put the extra pipe from the grill onto the trumpet and removed the vacume pipe. Maybe not as good as the 1st way but...

    Best and worst mod

    Wonder why they have don that? I know Lotus used to put wider tyres on the rear and have quite narrow tyres on the front this made them turn in sharper etc. I have 225's on mine and not noticed any differance at all apart from bringing the speedo down 1 mph making it more in line with what...

    Acoustic valve on air feed??

    yeah that sounds like the one Ryan, im sure it was only when he put his foot hard down. Will have to watch it again as it was quite a while ago when i saw it. Either way mine is open all the time.

    Acoustic valve on air feed??

    not true mate, its open most of the time. It closes and reopens at various stages of the rev range. There was a video knocking around that someone did to show what it did.

    Acoustic valve on air feed??

    Take the vacuum pipe off (and plug it closed) then attach a pipe onto your air feed down to the front grill. This will give you cold air and stop the flap from shuting. Gains from doing this?????? who knows. I think its miles better, car pulls better. But that is my thoughts only.

    police vs lawyer on a bike

    Yes i agree. The copper should of known in the first 30 seconds how it was going to end up so he should of just give him a slap on the wrist and sent him on his way rather than end up looking like a nob.

    Questions about centre silencer delete

    "If you're smooth on the throttle" lol, mine should be a switch, it only does ON or OFF May get mine taken out then, if it looses power then i will just buy a new system, prob go for the Miltek with sports cat like i had on my 182, that sounded awesome!
