Trying to quiet things down for autox since I'm right on the limit for noise. Looks hilarious too;

That whole noise thing makes me crazy. Seriously. People choose to live near an airport and also complain that people are street racing, but they can't deal with a few days with some cars that you can barely hear over the drones of airplanes landing and taking off. People need a goddamn place to go and race, but there are always these ignorant fools making it difficult and nobody wants it in "their backyard". Endlessly frustrating.

2nd gen Camaro's had them pointed down and in.
supposedly low pressure zone helped scavenge the exhaust and the exhaust gases
helped reduce drag.
interesting theory anyway.

going to be interesting to see if they help

I like.

This is rediculous Russ haha. I live right next to Boeing and have what i call "Rice burner" personal planes taking off all day, Jumbo jets taking off all day and engine tests being run all day and at night. People are silly with their noise BS. The club i race in used to care like 5 years ago, but now they don't even monitor the noise cause they don't care anymore.

Problem is if they don't care, they lose their venue. :(

The Honda S2000 I saw using this type of tips didn't seem any quieter than anybody else there. Hope it works out for you Russ.

I had to have the car weighted at the BC Autoslalom Championship this weekend. This is with about 1/3 a tank of gas.
