    When you have to not exceed 93 db @50' on WOT, you have to have imagination. When I was running a BDA, I had to have three mufflers on the side of my se7en. I end up with a "trombone" exhaust and a custom airbox which gets air from the cockpit through the heater opening. Now that the Zetec turns 8K opposed to 9.5K, two mufflers do the job. My hope is the lighter titanium muffler will be quiet enough to replace the spiral muffler, 180 degree tube and Ultraflow muffler. Should know in a couple of weeks.

    I got one off ebay a couple of years ago and finally got around to working on it. I had fears of working with the material. My friend has to learn to weld titanium next. He previously made a muffler out of incanel, so this wouldn't much of a problem. You have surround the weld in argon. The muffler is double pass, 2.5 in and a pair of 1.5 out. The ends turn down. I have clamshells, so the muffler tucks under the fender. When the 2 bolt flange is welded back on, the muffler might be 8 lbs. Wayne

    Getting ready to try Z06 titanium muffler. When you removed the heavy stainless strap (2lbs) and the tailpile extensions, you are left with a 7 (what else) muffler. Won't know what the sound level until the 30th, but removing Ultraflow and spiral muffler (over 20 + lbs). This is for a 185HP (rear wheel) Zetec running close to 8K. Wayne

    Mikes car is for sale in San Diego. It is an almost completed kit. Mike made a beautiful carbon fiber dash. The whole car is assembled to his high standards. Mike was killed in his sailplane about a month ago. His widow says to sell it for the price of parts even though it is a roller and has a 2K engine, tranny and ECU. Contact me at "super7guy7@yahoo.com" for more information. Have pictures from this weekend. Wayne Lotus and Caterham

    I was able to machine (hand file) the stock Z3 bracket so that the Geo alt lays into it. Just one long bolt holds it in place and since it is fully supported, the belt tension ensures that it does lift up. I too have a tight clearance on my Cat long cockpit chassis. Wayne

    Sorry to say that Mike Wills of Spring Valley, CA was killed this weekend in Utah doing one his passions. In addition to building an Ultralite from kit form, he was also a pilot, His glider was lost around 5pm on Saturday and his body was found on Sunday morning. It appears that he never cleared the mountains. Wayne

    Hi, When I was looking for drive shaft hoops to meet the D mod rule, I found that the Jegs/Summit loop was a very good starting point and the price was right; around $12 for a 5" loop, 2" wide of 1/4" material. (YPMV) Of course, you could probably lift the car with this hoop. The trick was to find a way to attach it to the Caterham frame. Wayne

    Hi Guys, I had to quiet down a BDA. Used the spiral muffler and two big Ultraflow mufflers to get the job done. Also did the intake side by making an enclosure using 1/8" alloy and picking up cold air from the heater opening. It all worked together well. Wayne

    Ian et all, You may be thinking of a spiral muffler. The concept is patented, but both Jegs and others sell them as race mufflers. Our dyno testing shows negligable hp loss. That being said, you still need a muffler with volume. To be really quiet, you need a muffler with a street rating, not a race rating. We have to run under 93 db wide open throttle at 50 ft. Wayne

    Hi KYO, Not sure if this is any more readly available, but I used a Datsun 1200 axle, It fits with ease after the mounts are made and is only maybe a 1/2' wider, has a drain plug and much stronger axles. I have a LSD in mine and added a bridge support behind the axle. Wayne "62 Super 7
