about 106 at a guess--probably need tailpipe silencers for trackdays.

We saw a reading of 120db from Bluethunders car (same set up as yours Kev)...who cares, piggin loud just about sums it up.

And no, you cant come round to mine to check it out!!
(see neighbour from hell thread)

my 4l chim, with sports exhaust conversion (converted by dealer) is 108db @ 4500 (tested at Bedford autodome) - just before Jonathan Palmer came out and told me off, for modifying my car !!!!!!! (always thought he was crap.!)

115-120 db I would think... BTW To comply with H & S you would need to wear ear defenders... Exposure to that level of noise will damage your hearing which is probably why many owners complain it isn't loud enough...
