Default where can you get db test done?

If the legal road limit for a road car is 98db, for example, where can you get you car exhaust noise level checked to ensure you are on the right side of the ''law''?

Me. I have a fully calibrated (with certificate) noise meter. Remind me to bring it along to the next meeting (or even Saturday). However, you will have to find out the precise way that the noise test is carried out in (e.g. 1m / 45° angle / 4000 rpm).

Chris,
I think 1000db may be a bit loud .
