Just thinking what's the cheapest way of killing some exhaust niose for track days and a few recommended exhaust bungs. Do they affect performance or can they cause any back pressure? Basically, are they any good and how many dbs can they kill?

Do you know what level it is as the moment as an insert db killer will only drop it by 10db

I have an android app called decibel that's quite accurate, or if you have one of those other phones tongue look for dB Volume Meter.

Don't have an Android phone just a BB and some rubbish Nokia which is on Symbian (I think). You reckon I can rely on noise level measured by a phone?

I borrowed a sound metre off a chap local to me to test a customers exhaust for track and my phone was +2db so that's pretty good as a guide smile

I reduced the tailpipe only to 3" and used an outward rolled exit.

From 108db to 85 now.

Actually, I had no problems at all - registereted 86db at Snetterton yesterday. I used UE SPL app which is free and it was very accurate and it showed 87db. Good stuff.
