How the feck are those standard precats over 110?

[GRFNUT]

never had more than 108 out of mine before? Distance correct etc, maybe the damp dense air or the fact clivef motor bued the meter

Yet

Just out if interest how far was the meter held from the exhaust exit ? The norm is 0.5M 45 degrees from the exit at 2/3 max revs. Presumably this was a little closer and revved for maximum effect.

[FlipFlopGriff]

Grover,
The ones from Tildo and above have none standard exhausts, can't comment on the rest.

The NONE Griff is a 400 I believe - black with Tuscan front light conversion, Chris Jennings, C8CBJ

Mine was done before the competition started so mine's legit.

Its done at 4,000 revs. I think 0.5m 45 degrees sounds right but I'm sure Dave will clarify.

Hells bells, The Griff I race seems loud at 105, some of you guys must have bleeding eardrums!

From the ones I saw being tested that was how the test was done. There are some VERY loud cars about.

[FlipFlopGriff]

I changed my exhaust from the standard one (no cuts in the back box) in the week and this was my first drive out. It is noisy and very angry above 4k, but its the frequency at tickover that gets inside your head.

[LordGrover]

A big increase on two years ago: clicky

[Del 203]

Dave !!!! My 108 was with the silencers i put on i think it was about 118 without, can you confirm pls mate ?

[Barreti]

mmm, not quite sure how I could have gone down from 113.4 last year ?

Blimey, based on this years results I could just about have made it to most of the track days I've been missing all year

Ooooooo !!!! More than Hoover then

[LordGrover]

I missed the sound-off this year. It was only because I saw GRFNUT walking around with a meter last year I knew anything about it. I don't think the weather helped on either occasion though.
Do you reckon it might get more interest if it was a bit more formal?
I know we rely upon the goodwill and services of Dave 'GRFNUT' and Tez (thank you ) so it might make life easier for them and 'competitors' if we agreed a time slot of say two hours, an allocated space with a sign and maybe being videoed and/or recorded for posterity?

... or should I just go myself?

your right Del you made a +10db reduction with the silencers on, you were 118.4db at 0.5m at 45 degrees and at a static 4k
