How has everyone tested their dB's. Don't really want to ask the local plod
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
yeh i have
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.Originally Posted by drifter

Thats the one
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).
was a very well made pipe..............
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.
It was bloody noisey before......
Well I have an Apexi ECV which I used for japfest at CCoombe. I closed it a bit to get tested (94db) and then opened it up on track.. job done
It was bloody noisey before......
im borrowing it again for the UJC track day to so im hoping that will still get me though as it was 100DB bang on the nose
OK have they got in for me? I just get the home page for all the Jetex links.
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 figuresAnyone got any pics of these jetex boxes fitted
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 backI'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.
