So my car is too loud. At least my local DMV Inspector thinks so.<img src=images/icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle> Must be said the car currently has 4in1's, straight pipes, glasspacks and no silencers. Still, same exhaust as last time I passed the same inspection couple years ago, no holes, no changes made to the engine...
Same testing procedure, different guy, different machine, different rev counter, can't argue with these people anyway, end result is I need to make it quieter.
Looks like my options are as follows :
1. a new stock exhaust
2. Arvinode
3. stick some scratch pads or metallic wool of some sort in existing exhaust...(not recommended)
I have seen Dave's (round2k) fantastic video dozens of times and although incorrect for my car, I love the sound of the Arvinode. So I am wondering if that would pass the test here.<img src=images/icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>
The way they test here is as follows :
Stand on the driver side of the car, 7m (about 21 ft) away and facing the car door, and measure sound at 4500rpm. I need to be under or at 77dB at most.
This is where you lovely people come into play <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> : Would one of you chaps who has Arvinode installed and who can get his hands on a sonometer run this test for me and tell me just how loud Arvinode exhaust really is ?
Thanks in advance
