    thats a good point, I really don't want to ask the local plod as they are the one who are giving me grief, was hoping that my local tuner and RR could do it but they don't

    Tested mine at Goodwood first as a benchmark and then used a Nokia mobile at the same distance and RPM and it was 1db lower on the Nokia so they're reasonably accurate. They don't test db's by sticking it up the exhaust, its a set distance and angle away from the end of the exhaust tip.

    My mistake, apparently he got one the track with the silencer but without the bung -whereas before the bung was needed. It wasn't even the largest jetex silencer that I put in (no hammering of the floor pan needed ).

    Lol. And apparently his sex life got better for the duration it was fitted, and people in the street stopped him to congratulate him on his choice... etc.

    We have this problem in Sweden also. Usually there is a 95 dB limit on our tracks. I don't know how many cars were blackflaged on "JapMeet" this summer due to beeing to loud, but it was ALOT!
    Almost all aftermarket systems seem to be to loud. If not they have an ugly as tailpipe...
    I'm still on stock but I'll probably build my own to keep the noice down.

    I'll take some photo's of mine, I'm not very tolerant of excessive noise but the Jetex silencer mad quite a differance when it replaced the tiny mid-box of the Apex old style twin box system. I'll see if I can get some dB figures

    And I only added this one

    I have the same box, it made a huge difference. Took it out now because I wanted the power back
