I'm hoping to do some track days in my Cerb, and without the benefit of a dB meter I have no idea as to how loud my car is!

Anyone know what the average sound level is from a Sports Exhaust 4.2?

Thanks

Tim

Asked almost the same question here. Will be having a noise test done in the next couple of weeks (with and without ACT's silencers, as i'm pretty sure it won't pass without them).

Will let you know the results when I have them.

FWIW, i am too loud at 98bd trackdays with my std zorsts but de-catted. Prior to that i ran with sports zorsts & cats & seemed to be fine! Its all a mystery to me

I don't think many Cerbs pass the 100dB static test @4000 RPM, mine was 118dB standard exhaust, dacat.

Thanks for the link, have just hired a dB meter from Book a Track to find out just how loud the beastie is.

Then it's off to get some bolt on silencers I guess.

That's very kind Tim, thanks. I've given my CC details already so I'll see what figures that gives, not sure if I should be allowed near your premisis, too many 'goodies' on offer.

May pop up and try some of your track day silencers.

Well that blew it!

Just tested with dB meter...

119.2 dB static @ 4000rpm

Time to visit A.C.T. I think.

ROFLMFAO! 119dbs! Good work fellah

Its for this very reason (oh and Im a crap driver and partial chicken) I havent attempted booking a track day, although I wasnt expecting it to be quite that loud (but do have sports zhorst/decatted)

Be interested to see your readings after dealing with Tim
