It was fun. I am not too bothered about not having complete the set up program as I do not have a particular schedule....

I think part of the fun is to be able to see what the set up changes do to the car's behaviour. To get there I need more seat time....

As per the noise I am stuck. All the tracks (apart from a couple of events per year) in the UK (and yes this includes Silverstone, Brands etc) have a strick 105db static (measured at 1m and 45 degrees) noise limit at 3/4 of the rpm range.

With my current exhaust setup I am at 114.5dbs. So if I want to get on the track I need to come up with a solution.

you should run what I do. Same headers (close) to yours, two 16 inch magna flows, one for each 3 cyl bank. doesn't restrict the engine any more than nearly straight headers, but doesn't get 'too' loud.

James that's right! That's what you have on Scruffy, right?

I see you got the Benz! How is it?
