Default Anyone know how many dbs afterburner vortex puts out?

Does anyone have an afterburner vortex on a fully decatted newage and know how loud it is?
Is it over 100db?

Thanks

yes judging by my vortex with a cat i would be amazed if it was below 100 db,not blitz loud but prob 105 db i would have thought.

wakes everyone apparently???

Hmm it would seem not. I do fancy something louder for a change but its no good if i cant track it. Mind you i could use it for the winter and get simething quieter when its track season next year.
A bung would make it track safe tho, i guess?

I would of thought so. Its 96-97db on mine and should be the same on yours. I shouldn't think your equal length headers will make it louder.

I have full decat afterburner on mine, except only bit being the back box which is a Ninja II. This past for castlecombe, but the backbox is the main part of the exhaust which sets the volume/tone.

i wouldn't use a bung personally, any restriction in the exhaust is going to have a detrimental effect on power
