Hi - I want to do a track day at Abingdon but the noise limit is 100dB. Anyone know what a standard Griff is?
Mine is standard apart from Cam and does "crack and pop" on overun so I thought this may blow the 100dB limit. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks....

I think precats are generally lounder in standard form

What is your car?

My 1994 Grif 500 was measured at 96 - 98 db at Bedford. That's at 4000 RPM, 1m from exhaust. Standard exhaust.

Yes, a standard 500 should be under 100db.

Thanks guys. Track day booked!
Abingdon on 16 July (£125 open pit lane) if anyone else interested?
I'll be in the the Griff and my mate in his Tuscan.

Good stuff! Where are you in the Midlands? If you are near Telford I can noise test the car to give you a good idea of the likely level before the event.

Mine is standard, always tests at 97/98db on trackday tests.

The normal test is measured at 2/3 maximum revs. Obviously you only rev to 5000 or maybe 5200. wink

In reality the power is probably all over by then anyway
