| Re: Roaring Forties GT40 #083 Hi Randy,
To be quite honest mate I have not progressed very far with these baffles to date.
I have fitted them and without any technical measurements and data they do seem to have a reasonable effect on the noise levels similar to the supertrapps that I originally used to get through my compliance testing. They just look a whole lot better. Unfortunately a drawn out registration process has put the brakes on any of these improvement projects for the moment.
My eventual intentions are to use my engineers noise measuring equipment to get accurate reading and then get the buggy back on the dyno to see what effect there is on the power output and tuning. The other thing that I will need to work on is the shape of the cutouts as they tend to generate a slight whistling sound as they are now. Probably the centre hole.
I will be sure to post an update when I get it sorted.
By the way, you must have gone back a long way to find this thread. I had forgotten all about it. I should probably update it a little as the RF is all but finished and the plans for the next project have already started!!
I should also take the chance to thank Paul from the ‘New RF” who has been very helpful in the registration process for RF083. It is very much appreciated.
