scoob fae ork Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I was speakin to my friend tonight, he drives a turbo 2000, and he was saying the european union has changed the rules for exhaust noise levels has been decreesed by over 10 decibels. Has anyone heard of this as my car and my friend's car will not pass this even tho there not that loud (Personal oppinion). He has a turbo back Scorpion Tuner 4 system and i have a Hyward and Scott system and a Prodrive back box. The police up here have nothing better to do other than stop motorists for any reason they can think of... so we're screwed. Has anyone heard of this or is it bull plop?
4Hero Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 not sure about the 10db, but soon Bagpipes will be illegal. Man, I 99% hate this country.

scooby222 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 really! im doubly screwed! that does it im off out for a drive with my new straight through system while playing my pipes out the window
thefastone Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 You play the Pipes Dave, Never knew you had it in you... But what? you guys being serious here? they want to make bagpipes quieter????? They have been told before on issues various, Go **** yourselves you garlic munching good for nothing (usefull) so-and-sos! Oh your banans are not bendy enough, You cant sell them, your bread is not the right size, you cant sell fruite and veg refering to that weights... Its not this country I hate for that, Its europe... But why we go along with some of these things I do not know... Anyways, back on topic... I was just marshalling the Scruitineering for the Granite City Rally, and during a quiet time, I though that I would ask the guy nicely if he would be kind enough to check the noise levels on my car... Standard system with a prodrive box... 80db @ 4500rpm the nose limit for the rally cars was 100db... Ive heard people say that Oh but the bobbies will do you with a Prodrive system/back box... well that's proof... they cant.... that was well quiet, some say that the limit being 100db for road use... well to be honest, some of these rally cars were REALLY loud... but they were all below the 100db mark...

thefastone Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Ta neil! bit of a joke theres really.... Yo see I told you the forces were crap!!!!
scooby222 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 i suppose we could convert to lowland pipes without drones and run standard peashooters with cotton wool over the ends. as one of my mates who does engineering keeps telling me,exhausts dont have to be big and loud to be powerful to which i say i know-but i like them that way! and if they complain about that lot wait til they hear the new pipe on my bike,5th gear through towns now! dale,youd be surprised at what ive got in me.... time for the subaru impreza pipers club?
scouk Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 time for the subaru impreza pipers club? LOL! there's an idea... can we record some sound clips and make out own anthem I've heard they are goign to start beign more strict on teh exhaust noises and I think it's gonne cause some frustrating moments with scoobies.. After all technically the a PPP exhaust could potentially be illegal.. yet for several months that is how the standard impreza came from teh dealers.. Free PPP included! So "in effect" the car is standard.. Are they going to start prosecuting drivers of "standard" cars? Probably!
thewelsho Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 sorry to knock it off topic again, clicky for reference to bagpipe noise levels, euro twats Having read that article, it appears that the "order" applies only to those soldiers in Edinburgh becasue it presents a hearing issue. There is no indication that 1) The directive came from Brussells (it came from the MOD); 2) That it applies univerally to all people in all places. That said, I am still with the consensus here that this country sucks, thanks not to Brussells, but directly to the tw@ts in grey suits who are controlling everything; our country and our lives our freesodms. I'd say that "those across the pond" are the ones who are controlling our society. Democracy = freedom - what a load of clap-trap. How people fall for that bull poop is beyond me. Oh dear, another rant... I'm going for a lie down and my exhuast is going NO WHERE!
thewelsho Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7363780.stmA diffrent story here John bbc say its brussels Well, I stand corrected. Giving that this band is playing in York, therefore England; my question is: Why are English people playing bagpipes? That comes as a bit of a surprise. Not saying that they are not allowed to, just seems odd.
scoob fae ork Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Good God i thought you were kiddin about the Bag Pipes that is ridiculous. I think what we really need ear plugs for is hearing all the politicians having a Tit for Tat argument in the house of commens
