Does anyone know if HKS makes a silencer for this exhaust? There are holes in the muffler tip for a silencer, but I don't know if they actually make one since it didnt come with one. I called HKS, but theyre closed bc of the SEMA show. I need one by Sunday to race in the Warminster Auto-x, so I dont have to take it off and put on the stock axle-back. If anyone has any info (if they make one, where i can get one if they do) I would appreciate the help.

for the one day that ive had it, i like it. but its louder than i thought it would be. i probably shouldve waited until after the auto-x before i installed it, but everyone knows how it is when you get new parts, you have to install them asap.

gorilla- do you know where i could get a universal one from?

why would you need the silencer for the auto x?

the auto-x is at warminster park. this park is basically inside of a 55+ community. therefore they have a 95dB limit

This rule stands. They will take samples during your first run and if it exceeds the limit they will ask you not to go again.

i would rather just have the silencer in case the exhaust goes over the 95 db level. i wouldnt want to get there and not be able to run bc of something as simple as that. and if other people cant race bc of their exhausts, i might win the novice championship!

btw, does anyone have a db meter that we could all use before the race to alleviate this whole issue?

they booted people last time and they will do it again. if you have a moderate volume exhaust you should be fine but if you're exhaust is undeniably loud, you better come up with a solution or you will be sitting on the sidelines at the auto-x... i just want to make sure everyone knows to take this rule seriously.
