ADD Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Morning guys and gals well knowing this was eventually gonna happen, i got pulled over last night in alton by a traffic officer his exact words to me were ' you werent speeding i'll give you that but i could hear you a mile away' DOH time to get rid of the Nur spec and get whifbitz twin box me thinks, thing is i was only doing 40 not blatting it around... I didnt get any sort of ticket or summond to station or anything but presume it will flag up as being a warning if it happpens again? It would be interesting to see how loud the car actually is now its single Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 That sucks. Did he tell you to get it changed or give you any advice or just simply say "it's too loud" and let you go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Lucky escape Did you have a bung in? If you sell your NurSpec then i may be instrested. I have found that for the times i have been pulled over most police are petrolheads and are well mannered... well they are around where i live Edited March 18, 2011 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i used to worry about the fact that i may be too loud.Its even worse now with the supercharger . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nic havent got a screamer pipe mate if i did think he'd of done more Cheapest solution may be get a silencer welded into the mid pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 He sounded fairly reasonable but without an inspection from a VOSA officer measuring decibels nothing can be done to you or your Supra. An officer ccan potentially issue you with a S.59 nuisance motor vehicle warning. Which means if he deems that you and your car are causing a real nuisance (normally means driving/excessive revving/donuts in McDonalds car park type scenario). This means if you get caught again in either a 6month or 1 year period your car can get seized and destroyed. Harsh I know!! Most coppers are a little more leniant with very nice well sorted cars though as they understand they are your pride and joy. Just always be polite and courteous its always a good start.

dandan Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have a really nice Magnaflow silencer I bought to weld into my Nur Spec to quieten it down but then I changed to a 4" so it's sat wrapped in the box now. If you are interested then I can get you the part number and some photos. It is 3" straight through, about 18" long, 10" across and 6" deep. One end is centre entry and the other is offset to suit the exhaust routing. Full stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keener Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 No probs with the police so far but at the last 2 MOT's my garage has put advisorys/warnings 'caution - loud exhaust' on the paperwork! I just smiled and thought 'that's exactly the reaction I wanted' :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i enquired about this recently at various places. i have the same exhaust on a bpu. To get the silencer put in he would have to re-route the existing pipe. they couldnt bent 3" pipe so it would have been a lot of work to get a decent sized silencer in and envolve lots of welding. He said he could enlarge the small one on the blitz system that sits where the 2nd decat is i think. but due to its shape it wouldnt have made much difference as the space limitations and ground clearance dont allow much movement.

David P Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Cheapest option is to weld in a Spiraflow Muffler, they are very compact and cause no restriction, each one will remove 7dB and sound good too.

ADD Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks to all for the ideas of getting round this but I think go and buy a whifbitz twin box I'm just chuffed that I didn't get done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks to all for the ideas of getting round this but I think go and buy a whifbitz twin box I'm just chuffed that I didn't get done How long have you had the car as it is now? Just keep it as it is and hope you don't get pulled again If you do get pulled, hopefully it'll be a different copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've had it single for a good 5 or 6 months now and this is the first time so think I'll get the pennies together and replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Only a matter of time before I get pulled with the RS-R on. What is the problem with using the baffles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
