Right, risky question this, witht he Night crew signed in.

How loud is 105db. My exhaust is really quite loud, and I don't really wanna turn up at a Track day and get told to fook off, because it's too loud.

So how loud is 105db, is it mega loud? Are there any cars on here that exceed the limit?

 

very loud pal

 

thats well load you'd struggle on Bedford, Donno, Coombe

 

I haven't had the car tested, just @ Elvington that is the limit...

 

i asked this question not so long ago and the responce i got was 105 db was a cossy with the centre box cut out with makes my car to loud for most track days but i managed to get a tunable tail pipe insert off e bay that slots into the tail pipe and reduces noise no end not tryed it on road yet but works at tick over

 

Link neil?

You will struggle to exceed 105 in your Fiesta, on my 205 I have a group n rally exhaust with no middle box only a small back box. I also have no air filter to dampen the induction noise. I don't have any problems with noise anywhere, even Bedford!

 

My Toyota has a twin box exhaust system, standard diameter, with cat.

i was recently pulled over by VOSA for a random stop check. When that was measured the reading was 102db! obviously, the car failed (the max acceptable road limit was 90)

what shocked me was i didn't consider the car to be offensively noisey at all!

to get the car to pass i had to weld in silencers over twice the size of the original ones

 

I'll be honest mate, it's mega loud...

2.25" no middle box, no cat, 4-2-1 manifold and just a back box.

 

Don't know how you manage that one, my group n pounded round donno at 107db in the wet (rain dampens noise) before i got black flagged in my mi16

 

What did they do to the car Dub-Se7en?

 

They served me with a prohibition notice. I had 7 days to fix it. i then had to take it to VOSA for them to pass it. right pain in the arse

if a little 1.5 toyota with 2 boxes and a cat can crack the 100db then i'm sure most of you lot are

 

Dan, 95bd is roughly the level of noise that a Hammer Drill gives off when it in action.

So, you can probably imagine how loud you'd have to be to get to 105db???

I'd imagine you'd be fine with your exhaust

 

Post subject: How loud is 105db.

Just slightly louder than 104db but not as loud as 106db

Hope that helps mate

 

I find that hard to believe(not saying your lying though)

Im sticking with my 4"full magnex with no other mods thank you

 

Unbelievable.

95db, a hammer drill...

I see I should be ok though. Where can I get a test?

 

I imagine you'd get a free test if you booted it past a police station or a police car Nah lets stop the non helpful posts and help the chap

 

The Buddy Club spec II on the ITR made 123db on Rolling Road.

The last time i was at Coombe the reading i though was 100db max.

With VOSA how far awy did they measure the sound from out of interest

 

Well I've been given a fine before for the exhaust.

The copper obviously had very special ears, as he started it, revved it, and then claimed it was too loud. So he gave me a ticket for "Causing Unnessecary Noise."

Well really, it wasn't me causing the noise was it, it was the copper.

 

...i think my screamer pipe is quite loud?

 

i can only think that the baffles were shagged on it. to make it pass i had to fit the centre section from a supra and have a new backbox made up with the biggest silencer that would physically fit under there.

It's mainly induction roar now. no bad thing as it's loads quieter on the motorway

Found a video of it! This should give you an idea...

 

See how much it goes down when you get in

Fat knacker






I think it's gonna be borderline mate, see if you can get it tested. Maybe have a removavble section put in so you can put a box in it if you need to?

 

I know I know. Next time I'll stand outside of the car.

I think I might have to. Tbh. I love the sound of it now, and it'll be a hard decision! but it's probably for the best.

 

which bit do you find hard to belive? as yes, coppers can pull you over for having a loud exhaust

 

sorry, didn't see this.

they did it from 1 metre from the tailpipe tip, 45degree offset. the car was then revved to approx 4500 RPM (although as my car has the standard clocks with no rev counter they had to guess and ended up just bouncing it off the limiter ) . they take the reading from that.

 

Didnt think there was a limit on the road cos of all these fcuking coonts with nova's & paxco's & panda's!

& just to top it off... them weird hairdryer moped things

Oh & harleys& that... one go's past mine everyday & fook me its the loudest thing!

 

i got a pipe for my ped wehn i had it and as it come new it was 110db put it on soon took it back to change it to a quiter one

 

when that link is uploading while you watch it. it sounds like Mick Dundee in Crocodile Dundee 2 when he is making a call to the Aborigines standing on the rock swinging that thing around

 

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHH HHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its about that loud.

 

The noise test used at most tracks is the static test with the noise meter at 45 degrees to the exhaust exit at 0.5 metre and approx 4500-5000 rpm.

Noise when measured is very strange, 100db to 103 db is TWICE the volume, 100 to 106 is 4 TIMES the volume, and so on.

Any good "one off" exhaust maker will be able to test your car and advise you.
