'standard sound' exhaust you say? - Niall - 24-06-2013
Yeah so ive got the Db meter from work at the moment. my Mid-sport longlife system that was supposed to be only just over standard volume....
That was just idle

How far away from the tip did you hold it btw?

Got a mid sport longlife system on my hdi, love it. Definitely louder than standard too, can actually hear the thing now.
On idle that seems a bit excessive though, how close were you?

Bet it was inside the manifold
To be fair, the exhaust is pretty damn loud.
RE: 'standard sound' exhaust you say? - Niall - 24-06-2013
roughly 1 metre at just above bumper level.

Jesus, that is f*cking loud then, I must be deaf as shit, cuz I don't think its that bad!
RE: 'standard sound' exhaust you say? - Niall - 24-06-2013
I think scott was actually slightly in pain after the drive back from Geli's last weekend
Its f*cking loud! Its just really deep and boomy.
Oh and before you say it, that was calibrated a few weeks back lol

My DT is vile with that GT17S on...
I bet sound *pressure* wise it's actually f*cking loud, it's just that Petrols place that noise where you can hear it rather than the deep bellow of a diesel with a big turbine wheel and not much in the way of silencing...
RE: 'standard sound' exhaust you say? - Midnightclub - 24-06-2013
We had mine at 108 at idle a while ago on one of those phone apps

I can hear the flapper more than I can hear the exhaust

I dread to think what the '5 is
RE: 'standard sound' exhaust you say? - bigcheez2k3 - 24-06-2013
Not sure what mine is at but I know that when I floor it, with it being unfiltered, it makes a massive racket and I feel slightly deaf afterwards, especially after the turbo dumps the pressure on gear change.
RE: 'standard sound' exhaust you say? - Niall - 24-06-2013
Ill bring it with me to the RR day next weekend if i dont get asked to send it back before then
