carbon fibre backbox

PaulW · 08-02-2010, 08:52 PM

Who sells carbon fibre back boxes for cars? Not the ones you see on saxo's and clio's that you can get your head in there that big but a performance item that also muffles noise?

I've got their Carbontec rear silencer on my Vtec and I've been told it sounds like a motorbike ...

seems to attract the attention of all the chavs and boyracers so am conidering something quieter .. but thats just me

garyshoose · 09-02-2010, 11:27 AM

That's what i suspected. I doubt you'll find one well enough packed to be quiet enough for the street, but Pauls car is all about track

Thats right Gary but i would be more worried about taking a noisey mini on the road than the track, we still need to keep within the d/b noise limit and they do check

it's certainly very light tho

Allan McD · 09-02-2010, 12:35 PM

Any motorbike 1000cc or more will be the plan but a streght through can will mean you have to cheat with th noise test

Just tell them your max revs are

5800rpm it will pass ok.

Having cut a section out of one of my stainless boxes to make it 300mm long instead of 450mm long, I reckon that it would be quite easy to 're-shell' the stainless outer with one of these Carbon tubes. Just use high temp sealant & stainless rivets to assemble everthing.

Am I reading their site correctly that a 600mm length of 124mm ID CF Tube would cost £50?
