Neil,
i know the guys at powerspeed, did they make your silencer? if so i doubt it is 111db!! the standard caterham race system on my 7 is only 105 db!!!
I had Dave make me a new silencer for the 7 and it was tested at 91db!

I can believ it's 111dB that's crazy. I'd suggest their meter maybe out, etc. Worth checking first.

Just had a quick google. Lotus elise with no exhaust rev'd to 7k is recorded at 111dB. I've heard your exhaust ...... No chance it was that loud !

I have an R1 can lurking in the shed. Failing that you could always borrow mine. 99db at Brands with a repack. It comes off with three bolts so it's not a big job.
Re: IVA Paperwork just submitted
blimey 111db thats a tad loud, my old one pre-powerspeed was 105/106 and it felt like the ground was shaking. Surely 'borrowing' one is the way forward? You can always do the right thing afterwards?

I've got one in the garage, but it's a turbo cosworth system so it might not be quieter. But worth a try if you wanna.....
