Default Decibel levels?

Hellos peeps.....

Is there anywhere hear "us" where I can get my decibel level measured?
I'm looking at a brands hatch track day and they said it must be below 105db on 3/4 throttle?

I just know it as the loud/GO pushy downy thing

Extreme should be able to give you a good idea, probably by telling them what system you've got

They went to Brands yesterday so will probably know better than most

If you have the time, you can pop along to brands when another event is taking place and they should test it for you... OR i could bring the db meter along to a meet. not sure how accurate ours is now tho not been tested for a while.

Guys if your worried about decibel levels and you have a Afterburner Vortex, you could always buy mine, which has a permanent baffle in the end of it

Oh many thanks for the replies gents......

I'll be at the halfway house for a bit (new GF you see......) so maybe, like you say, I can test it out then?

(also, I've just managed to put some pics of the toy up in Gallery if you fancy a butchers )

if you are less loud than robroy you are ok
if you are louder than him then you must have no exhaust at all
