bignum Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 You may get noise tested if someone or a marshall reports you on your way round, although testing is only normally done if something is extra loud in the car park, i got pulled in 3 years ago(before they became more strict) with my nurspec and just passed, its a long way to go to get banned for being to loud, i diverted my screemer back into the zorst as i do alot a trackdays anyway, one guy i know got a small exhaust like pipe made up to go on the end of the screemer pipe to tone it down slightly.

Abz Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 They have noise restrictions on the Nurberg? I would have thought with motorbikes and all sorts they would have been pretty linnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It's getting stricter all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 you could just put the bung in thou yeah Put the bung in what your ear ole:), the op is refering to an open wastegate pipe which normally exits under the car, also fitting a bung in the exhaust of a highly tuned single turbo car is a no, no, it causes to much restriction and sends egt`s rocketing.

Scott Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Can you hear the wastegate on a non-load accel though? Surely the wastegate noise wouldn't be a factor to any testing that they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, thats correct, but it wouldn`t surprise me if the "ring" people don`t have some driveby sound meter`s setup, as every other race circuit does nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think if it's tooooo loud you'll get pulled. I was on the Ring 2 times this year and no Problems with the Blitz Nur Spec R (although i have a TT single could be louder...). Do you have some kind of noise restrictions on Public Roads in the UK? If so the police in Germany can also pull you which is more pain than on the Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do you have some kind of noise restrictions on Public Roads in the UK?

Ark Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Can you hear the wastegate on a non-load accel though? Surely the wastegate noise wouldn't be a factor to any testing that they do? The 'ring marshalls are a law unto themselves - they can, and will ban you if they feel like it, regardless of noise tests. Plus there's a regular stream of marshalls lapping the place in un-marked cars, so they know who has crashed, who is noisy, who is dangerous...

black_widow87 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Think im going to try and find a db meter. On my mates ipad app it read 97 on cold idle...really hope it isnt accurate [sAD][/sAD] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 In theory we do have a noise restriction, but I've never know it inforced. It could be enforced here in Germany then. Some days ago i saw it on TV. A german Police Squad stopped several cars going on a meeting one of them was Danish. The car was to low and they wouldn't let him drive away until he got the car up to legal height, with bad luck he would have been towed away. Also something to do with EU guidelines and so on. Similar thing with noise although i don't know if they can/will confiscate the car as it's not safety relevant. But don't pinpoint me on this i know how it is with German cars maybe it is the same with foreign ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
