UPDATED PROBLEM STATEMENT Want the 2011 U of I CSC sled to be CLEANER and QUIETER Cleaner: Goal: meet National Park Standards E-score of 170 Carbon Monoxide less than 120 g/kW-h Unburned Hydrocarbons less than 15 g/kW-h Quieter: Target: pass competition with 78 dB Goal: meet National Park Standards of 73 dB

UPDATED SPECIFICATIONS SOUNDQuieter than stock CATEasily removable and replaceable SIZEFits in chassis BACK PRESURESimilar to stock

One blank CAT for back pressure testing One CAT with 200 cells per inch CAT Size: 3.5” x 3.5” Body size: 4.5” length x 3.5” dia. Four more CAT’s on the way Put one aside for use in competition with 2-3 hours break- in time During testing we have met NPS CATALYTIC CONVERTER (CAT) FROM ARISTO

EXPERIMENTATION 112/2/2010 Each configuration was tested 6 times: 3 times per side dBA is the average of all the runs ConfigurationdBA Stock with Panels83.93 Stock without Panels85.52 2 Hushpower in Parallel88.97 2 Hushpower in Series86.47 3 Hushpower in Series86.99 1 Hushpower89.13 Laminar Flow90.25

EXPERIMENTATION 21/9/2011 Wondered if stock was quieter simply because it was inside the chassis Ran another set of tests with the stock hanging outside Determined that inside versus outside the sled did not affect sound ConfigurationdBA Stock external85.65 Stock internal85.67 2 Hushpower in Series85.6
