Just a quick update.... Engine out, replaced the barrel, piston and pin and put it all back together and back in the car.... Took the opportunity to tidy up the engine bay whilst I was at it and got everything Cerakoted in armour (satin) black with a few lime green highlights... IVA final test booked for Monday 7th October, but taking no chances this time and have booked transport to get the car there and back. Have measured the Db for the noise test on my mobile phone which has proved to be rather accurate and only 88Db so confident I'll pass this time....

Still too noisy according to IVA, going to swap out the Vintage Speed Exhaust for a standard Type 4 exhaust to see if that will get me through the test...

Hopefully any re-test cost were low?

I have wondered how effective the CSP insert is, said to reduce noise by 4db. On a long journey I find my stinger exhaust drones, but fantastic noise when accelerating through the revs.

I guess a standard unit might be a safer option.
