sndwave - Excellent idea - the 2-tier parking lot would work perfect. We can line up all the "contestants" for "judging" in the lower lot, let's say.

Here are the "contestants" so far: We still need a Borla Race, a Quicksilver, NRP, and Scorpion, to name a few:

Nobull60 – borla street
Pilo – UUC
Ryephile – Milltek catback
Minzila – Milltek catback and header
YuccaPatrol, Koolmini and Moorlockx – duke it out for Magnaflow
Paddy – Borla on Cooper
Cometgirl63 – Rspeed on Cooper
Mbabischkin – bone stock Cooper
agokart – stock Cooper S
Normalizer – JCW
orthomini - "oneball" modded stock MCS

Moorlockx - we'd LOVE to have you bring along your dB meter! An excellent tool to match up with the sound recordings, indeed

Cheers,
Ryan

rad that was just what i needed to do. thanks ryan. now we just need a few more exhaust to sign up!

 

Just a thought here....having it on the lower level will undoubtably sound better, but won't that affect both the sound recordings and db levels? Wouldn't you get unwanted echoing off the ceiling?

Having not been there before, I'm not sure I'm grasping the two tiered lot image correctly, but you'd get a truer sound out in the open.

 

what's really kool is getting out on the Dragon nice & early
finding a good spot in the middle and listen to the exhausts & tire squalling as they come though

Wish I could be there.

 

>>Wish I could be there.

 

minihune, if my parents drove my "Bitchin' Camaro" up here from the Bahamas, certainly you can drive the MINI over here from Hawaii!

Looks like I will have to step down from offering my stock exhaust for the comparison since I will have my new Magnaflow installed next week!

 

--->Moorlockx: the two-tiered parking lot is not two-stories, but rather built into the side of a hill. There are no celings or walls to introduce unwanted acoustic reflections.

I imagine we'll have to scout for Exhaust Shootout candidates once we're there, and tempt them to join us with some of the fabulous chili or cool beverages....or even our witty charm

 

and if the witty charm is not enough, we'll have our ski masks and duct tape to convince them to join the shootout!

 

Yucca! sshhhhh, they're not supposed to know that secret!



Also - I think we should do this Exhaust Shootout before the Chili Cookoff, as to not take attendance away from either. Let's say, 4:00PM on Friday?

Great suggestion, Ryephile. I am cooking chili, but I'd also love to check out the exhausts, so starting these events at separate times would be my vote for sure.

 

before the chili cook off has sounded best so far. and we will make sure it is done so that no one miss any event. because i want chili as much as the next guy..lol but i am sure the only tape we will be using is for recording..lol and i am back in at top stock slot..lol radical

 

ill be there with my one muffler bypassed 75.00 otherwise stock exhaust. i would love to hear someone with a supertrap myself.

 

ortho - cool, you have a one-ball (exhaust, that is)

I've been PM'ing with Moorlockx a bit. He suggested that if there are too many to record at once before the Chili Cookoff, that we continue it Saturday Morning just after the Dam Picture roundup. Also, more people may be around Saturday, so the pickin's may be greater too.

agokart - looks like you won the battle for having the stock MCS exhaust, Yucca went and got himself a Magnaflow! Now he, Koolmini, and Moorlockx will have to duke it out, hee hee.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

it will be kool to compare the exhaust note of my one year Magnaflow to Yucca's new one

 

Kool..how many miles do you have on yours? Mine's got about 12K on it now. It will be interesting to see how age affects the systems' tone.

 

It will also be fun to see what happens when I secretly shove a banana into koolmini's magnaflow

 

about 12k, maybe 13k after the drive to the Dragon

hey Yucca......two Megaphones = two banana's

 

Now why and go hurt a poor banana. Use marsh mellows instead!

 

I have a Playmini exhaust.
Can I join????

 

a one ball exhaust. so thats what its called, learn something new every day. great name!

Hi all... very infrequent NAM-goer here, as Sunshine Minis' forums keep my head spinning enough already. Just wanted to offer up another full Milltek system- header thru tailpipe. Dunno if it would really make any difference between mine & Minzilla, but I also have the Alta intake & 15% supercharger pulley, as well as a re-mapped ECU fuel/air curve. Happy to "chime in" as it were, if desired.

One of my compadres down here also has a Stebro system. I'll have to nudge him & see if he'd be willing to show off a little. He's usually game...
