What have you done ?  :H:

My thoughts exactly... and I was even trying to work it out.

If Nick has the sports exhaust, well it's a novel way of solving that, but on my sports exhaust there's nothing leaving the right hand exit, so the above arrangement wouldn't do anything except add weight.

So I guess either Nick doesn't have a sports exhaust, but is still too noisy, or his uses both exits, unlike mine.

Right, additional exhaust on!  Will get it tested when I get back from holiday.  Will book 2nd June before I go!

Nice simple solution! Did the factory supply it or did you commission / DIY yourself?

It's a sports exhaust Phil, same as yours. LHS port is active, just using the RHS as a mounting.
Martin at Infinity Exhausts fabricated it in a couple of hours this morning. £180

It certainly looks dead simple to fix Nick, especially considering how the wing would get in you way otherwise.

What are you guys doing for track day insurance?  :checkeredflag: 

A-Plan exclude Combe, because of quarry  :doh:

I'm with Reis, who cover a set of organisers/circuits, which hopefully covers CC, but excludes the Nurburgring.

So all I need to do prior to this track day is find out who' organizing/marshalling, check its on the list and let REIS know.

Car checked over and brimmed with VPower.

Ready to go for tomorrow.

Looks like some rain around lunch but should still be a good day.

See you in the morning Ian and Nick! :)

You left too early. They extended the last session by an hour and had lap dancers in the tavern with an open bar!
