Ok new exhaust ordered, went for the 7 x 22 inch silencer with either stage 2 style pipes or through diffuser but not sure what to get.
I like the noise of the Stage 2, I went for the 7x22 to suit 98db trackday noise regs. I would have gone for the ultra but that would mean changing it every quiet trackday. Not sure if I have made the right decision.
Chatted to Jim about the various styles that others had on the forum, I mentioned that I though Ali's sounded louder than Ed's although its the same 7x22 albeit Ed had thru diffuser pipes and Ali had stage 2 style. Jim reckoned it may be due to the angle hitting the ground to increase perceived bassy sound.
Would go for this but prefer the through pipe design, or do I just switch the order to the ultra and swap it for trackdays down south.
Tell me what to think

I want the Ultra so that's what I'd recommend

but is there a chance that Knockhill could introduce similar noise regs in the near future? Maybe that's something to think about...

I went for the 7x16" Kenny. Jim said it would have more noise than the 7x22" but would probably still meet most trackday limits. I think he said the 7x18" would definitely meet trackday limits.

He said only the 7x22 would meet Donny drive by limit of 98 db, thinking I might change it, the 18 was 101 IIRC
Bugger even more confuzzled now, JJ gies a listen to your motor.

Kenny,
I also had Jim's highflow sportscat on mine would have made a difference...
Cheers,

Jim made me up a 7x26" to make sure that it passed Donnie's 98db, but unfortunately his manifold was touching the drive shaft, so he had to put it on hold.
