Default Call ERA and ask about a quiet set of pipes?

DrC Rich Call Peter or Bob and ask about maken a QUIET set of pipes. I have a street set of pipes that came with the car and a race set of pipes for the track. To run the motor for SHORT TERM 5 minute or less OK. If you have the dual fans in the front I would turn these fans on. You may want to look into the little bildge fans and mount them so they pull air out from under the hood. Couple of guys are running them with high HP power. They have a kit for the FIA cars but this is for foot box air being cooled. Boater world sell 4" fans for about $22.00 You would need a switch,fuses for each fan(2), relays. They are water proof. You aim the exhaust out the side louvers and it will cool down the motor 10-15 degrees. 280cfm per fan. You may want to change the oil after the 240 temp. When you get this hot you are burning the oil. This is just MY OPINION. If you want to talk call me at 732-254-3536 after 8:00pm any night. Rick L.
