When BTB were first approached with the task
of manufacturing a rear silencer for the BMW Z-1, it was a challenge
to be relished by BTB's ever resourceful engineers. An initial
batch of 6 silencers was soon pre-sold, enabling the original
customer who donated his car for development, to realise a substantial
discount as reward for his efforts in publicising the benefits of switching
to BTB. Demand for these silencers has been continuous ever since and it remains
one of BTB's most popular selling items. Z-1 owners are obviously attracted
by the stylish twin oval tailpipes which cleverly resolve the rear styling
of the car, making it look even more like the concept car it originally was.
Closer scrutiny of the silencer reveals BTB's attention to the
aerofoil section which integrates the underfloor aerodynamics with
the wake turbulence at the back of the car to minimise drag and
reduce lift. Also significant is the double skinning of the all
stainless steel silencer that reduces radiated noise, but still
produces a satisfying but not intrusive sporty feel to the exhaust
note.
