Raceco silencer

The track noise regulations in Sweden has become much harder lately. The current limit is 95 dBA drive by measured from a 10 m distance. This limit is set by the SBF (Swedish motorsport federation) for all swedish circuits.

I know my car sounds a lot more than that, around 105 dBA. So far I've never been blacked flagged but I know it is a question of time. Also I wouldn't mind if the car was quieter as I'm not a big fan of loud noises.

The first step is to quieten the exhaust and that is now done with a Raceco 2.5" titan silencer built by Mike Riley. The high price made it a painful decision but it is very nice built and also a lot more quiet than the previous silencer. It take the edge of the bad part of the noise and what is left is a nice round sound. In fact the exhaust noise is now masked entirely by the (very nice!) induction noise.

It was a straight fit and no brackets needed to be fabricated.

It is also a bit lighter than my previous silencer - about 1.5 kg.

The car is much more quiet now but I think it still have a bit to go before I reach 95 dBA. So trying to reduce induction noise is next step.
