Folks, I have a dB meter sitting on my desk here so I'm going to put it in my boot and bring it with me. Anyone wants to know how loud their exhaust is please feel free to seek me out.

The normal test specified by the RAC is a static test running at 2/3 the maximum engine rpm measured at 45° and 0.5 m from the exhaust pipe.

I recon there should be a prize for the loudest

But It's got to be a nice noise as well, volume isn't everything.

Calling Ted. Is there a spare something from the PH shop that could be awarded to the loudest?

I may well seek you out...

The Cerbie was last measured at 119Db at 45o. Think on twin exhaust motors it's supposed to be at the centre point though.

Whatever though, as a serious point you may want to invest in some earplugs. The person who measured mine said it was painful to get the reading...

Cheers
