So i installed a new exhaust on my car the other day so now im officially running straight pipes. Noticeably louder then my 3" cat back. Should have done a comparison test but didn’t think about recording the value. Anyways, At idle recorded 78-85 dbs with the driver window down, in car, facing into the garage (doors open) and when free revving to 5k rpm record this ![http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/180531_10150091242221712_506711711_6560854_4126412_n.jpg](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/180531_10150091242221712_506711711_6560854_4126412_n.jpg) averaged about 99-100db’s come spring time i’ll do a road test and see how loud it is under load, 7k rpm and with the wastegate open(screamer pipe). Has anyone done something similar to this before in recording a 240’s sound level? ---

If your doing this as a measurement for police, don’t you measure the DB on a 45 degree angle about a foot from the muffler? 101dB’s inside the car is fuggin’ LOUD. ---
