Does anyone know the db for a 14b Big Bang R1 with a 2/3 Akrapovic system?

Have my first TD in it in a couple of weeks and don't have any baffles. Trying to decide whether to buy some in case it's over the limit.

H Guys former Noise Tester here for MSV . I would expect it to be in the region of 103 to 108 dB @5500 rpm
depending on other mods and location and atmospherics.
It may well fall foul of drive by readings too especially if ridden well. If at Brands once its failed out on track you only get one chance to drop it down then if it fails again that bike does not go out again that day!
Buy baffles, wrap and stainless wire. and check between sessions too.
Thanks. They have got very strict. "Noise man" in every briefing.

Best get some ordered. Rather spend £40 than lose the cost of the TD.

For anyone in the future needing to know I got tested at a measly 94db with the baffles in at Brands.

Needn't have bought the baffles...
