x power back boxes

[brrm]

thats MG Live weekend,

So it is! Do the 260s have an 'area' for that? I'm thinking it might be quite hard to get all the cars in one place if not.

parking in the V8 Register is an option, along with our SV / SVR cousins and RV8 / BGT V8's

....... if a centre box could be fitted, they said no way , no room. i thought the rover 75 v8 had a centre box or are the rear boxes baffled to hell.

Maybe the Gbox is smaller on the 75V8 and there is more room for a centre box?

Doesn't Phil Evans have an additional silencing box on his (I'm sure he said he did at Combe)

probably easier and cheaper to change to Powerflow / Zero's though

merl how bad is your boom, and in what rev range

Erm I can live with it lol. When I had some of the guys who had been in martin's S/C estate with Zeros on they said it "wasn't as bad" (zeros which Arthur (BRRM) now has I believe) but also been told in an estate the booming might be different as it resonates in the larger cabin more...

Each powerflow is different as you have them made up to how loud or quiet you want them. I wanted mine to come under 100db in case I tracked the car. I think most they have registered was 96db.

I think the booming is around the 2k mark but will go out later if I get chance and have a play as it depends on the gear and load on the engine. so if pottering a long it is ok but put your foot down for a few seconds and it is apparant but then not for long... will do some tests though.

High Wycombe looks slap bang in the middle of Oxford/Reading/St Albans triangle.
Unfortunately, I can't do this weekend (I have to take the 260 to Germany to go to a wedding ), but I should be able to do any of the following weekends, if that isn't too late.

Following weekend (25th/26th) is MG Live at Silverstone. So it's this coming weekend for me, the first weekend in July or one evening during the week.

may be a meet in two weeks time then, ive enquired about powerflows at top gear in aylesbury, saw the lads over there to see if a centre box could be fitted, they said no way , no room. i thought the rover 75 v8 had a centre box or are the rear boxes baffled to hell. i wasnt convinced there boxes would make that much of a difference,one of the guys had a ford f150 pick up with a 5.7 chevy in it with just a side exit single box, and my god he could not believe it when my car demolished his on the sound of the exhaust

Phil Evans has a centre box on his ZT260. Recorded a noise level of 80 dB at Castle Combe last weekend.


There I should remember to read all the posts before adding my twopenny worth

If you make it a little bit closer to the North I can def come! I have no dog sitters that weekend so I am limited on timing but can make a lunch or something out of it
