I know this may not be that much help if you don't have one, but the one I downloaded on my iPhone that was very accurate.
If you know anyone with an iPhone/Pad/Touch, could be a cheap solution! thumbup

I have a db meter app on my phone Pete.. Will be using it this weekend, I suspect for the same reason as you.. wink

If you have a smart phone you should be able to get hold of an app easily enough.

I've got one on the iPhone but it's crap, so I'm assuming there's several ones out there?

Thanks thanks thank you all!! Spent all my money on fuel when buying the last phone, hence just a straight forward trusty keypad phone :-D

you got it Dave!...how far over are you?? thinking mine's mostly bass volume that'll exceed 105dB, but shouldn't draw so much attention and it's the high rasp end of the spectrum, that mine doesn't have, that'll cause problems for a few others... I've haven't been tested on all 4 trackdays...

...but it seems we WILL be tested for the next one frown THANK you Steve D, for lending me your meter and giving me a walk round at your oustanding workshop!
My readings off one side pipe were

93dB idle
105 @ 2700
108 @ 3900 (3/4 max power)
114 @ 4500 (3/4 redline)

...some work to do!
