nah 5" tailpipe is not the same as bore. Some systems have a small(ish) bore then going into a much larger tailpipe. Systems like that will be a lot quieter than a 5" bore throughout.

I don't know enough about scoobies to tell you if yours is likely to be a 5" bore throughout, but I would doubt it was that big all the way through.

Sure it couldn't have been my quiet little number!

125.2 dB by proper calibrated noise meter at 1 m and 45 degrees.



Oh - and it's coming off as soon as cause its bloody ridiculous and I'll get locked up if it stays on!!
But yes it's raspy and noticeble!!!!

P.S. Not a mongoose - it's 3" right through with no resonator OR BACK BOX...just ends with innocent looking 4" tail pipe.
