Also, there is a rattle coming from the silencer can after the last session on track. At least that can't really be terminal, but I'll have to investigate. I've always wanted a new exhaust, but chances are it would rule out Bedford with anything other than a Raceco or rear exit. :x

The chap who bought my SLR stuck a RaceCo on it and took it straight to Bedford. No problems all day with noise so they must be amazing things as with the standard SLR exhaust it was blowing 106db!

:) Mine was only reading something like 97dB on the static, but was right on the edge on the drive by. That's with an the airbox as well. Your SLR would have blown the drive by away!

Needless to say I had about had enough of it by this stage, so I decided to give it to an expert. First I contacted a local specialist... didn't want to look at it, even if I was willing to wait until the new year, tried.another specialist who didn't want to take it on either.
I'm confused by this - because it's a 7? Because of the issue? Or because of your reputation ;) ?

As the 13th Duke of Wybourne? :)

No, both places were 7 specialists. The first guy basically fobbed me off and said he was too busy until the new year. I replied that I could possibly wait that long and he never replied again. The second guy said as he was busy and didn't want to take on a job where he couldn't predict how long it would take to fix.
