What is louder than your Wedge?

[KelWedge]

As some of you know my wedge is one of the more loud ones
I live in a small Town out East, and yes there are few boys about with loud ish baby cars with strange exhausts on, But there is also one other Local car which is a lot more loud, and it's a Ford!
The upside down photo is a clue to where it's from.

Ha! Remember the ads in the flicks when it came out, at least I seem to remember something of the ads.... or did I dream it "drives a 300bhp interceptor etc etc"

Ford Falcon XB GT 500,
6498cc
This one has 44000 miles, and very very loud, and that's me saying that and my wedge has won loudest wedge at BBWF, no idea on db's
By the way it's for sale at 79,995

[jmorgan]

Yeah, understood that. Thinking what a Griff and a Cerbera were supposed to be. Think they made a number up for the bigger Wedges that sound respectable and if anyone one asked "it was like that when I found it....."

[cerberatony]

was told my 350i is currently 106 db and sounds like it too

280i-350i = 100-105db
390SE-400SE = 106-110db
SEAC's = 106-113db
Sports exhaust add 10db…

Delilah was 119db…I do recall someone winning at BBWF with 123db…Or was it more ..

A guy at work went to look at this beast a while back as it was on ebay for sale.

Reckons its a monster!!

80k is a bit steep though!

Cheers. Just wondered where the Cerb's and Chim's fit in as well. I thought that later cars had a lot less of a hooligan in them...... unless something fell of the worst...

When I bought a stainless for mine, I went for standard as I take the factory figures with a pinch of NaCl and when you used it for a 150 mile commute, it gets to you.
