Steve W Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 oh......my....... GOD ! ! ! I have been convincing myself that the Mongoose was getting a tad' louder..... possibly it was losing it's 'fibre-glass' ...... maybe I wouldn't notice sufficient difference with the NUR after all ! ! ? ? Mate at work fitted it for me tonight..... Started it up WITH the baffle in the tail-pipe..... mmmmmmmmm...... mate was impressed.... I thought: "yeah, nice and deep/meaty, but, the baffle can only be making a small difference - SO, it's not as loud as I'd hoped ". WRONG..... took the baffle out, restarted, YIKES..... NO, the Mongie was QUIET.... VERY QUIET ! ! ! On the drive home, revs turning and staring expecting to see a Centurion TANK or something:conf: I'm NOT joking.... EVERYONE.... I must have passed ~100 people on the way home (Dagenham/Romford 'town' roads)..... ~99 of 'em must have spun round ! ! ! What happens when I open the BU**ER UP ? ? ? [ that's the FIRST time I've semi-coasted down MY street to keep inconspicuous ! ! ! ! ..... EVER ! ! ] ps. I took an 'AVI' of the Mongie when I started up this morning... I'll do EXACTLY the same with the NUR, with baffle and without... SAME camera / SAME position / SAME 'sound' level.. might be helpful for others ? ? FatS. I now don't feel so "POOR-RELATION" to everybody elses' Soop... I might get off me arse and turn-up at a meet or two ? ! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1SEP Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yeah, come down next week mate and let us de-cat the beast, you can expect another 20% increase in sound and almost the same increase in power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Thought I'd be really good this morning, so, went to work with the baffle IN.... Still a reasonable sound (still fair bit louder than Mongoose !) BUT, even with it in, set off TWO car alarms just in my own street... hadn't even reached the main road... was still idling/trickling it along like a good little worm... (they must have been set really 'sensitive' though !) I NOW have to turn the stereo up to hear it above the 'zorst ! ! [but that's not a major problem:sly: ] [can't bring myself to do the windows up yet..... the inside of me car's gonna get SOAKED if it rains heavy ! ! ! ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
