Got a proper dB(A) meter - so I thought I'd do a test today. Here's the results -
UK MY99 with Scoobysport C/Section and Backbox
95dB(A)
: cool:: eek::c ool:
Test conditions - 1.2 meters @ 45 degree angle. Revs @ about 4000 rpm.
Really annoyed my workmates too - always a bonus!!
Anybody want their car tested - I feel an interesting sideline coming up
"Noise-tests prior to trackdays"!!!
Any takers ?

Track is normally 98 or something.
I wouldnt mind mine being tested. When i've done track sessions they havent bothered testing me - so dunno what it is!

The Bedford Autodrome incident () started at 87 dBa and was reduced to 85 dBa 
I don't do track days (too chicken), but am looking to do Nurburgring next year....
Andy - let me know if you want yours done

My old STi RA showed 92.6 at castle combe earlier in the year.
Surprised the sh*te out of me, as it had a full scoobysport de-cat!
