in response to woolylad 's post on the new garda crackdown does anyone know for sure how loud there car is?
has anyone had this test done by a guard to say what db your at? would be interseting to know!
 
Slightly above factory spec level.....
And thats just cause of the Air filter that was fitted.
 
It sure would be nice to have the answer to this, considering in the vid i posted in that tread
the guy said it was about 81db with the valve closed witch he said was quieter than factory,
yet the limit here has been set at eighty. so not sure, maybe ask subaru what the standard is :dontknow:
 
Was tested by guards but found out thanks to some of the guys on here that they didn't follow the test procedure so results weren't accurate ,
 
Id love to test mine...

I was told to get rid of my exhaust before cos of it bieng too loud..... that was with just a back box on it before i got the h&s....
 
yours is unnnatural in sound though kev!!!!
sounds like an underground train when i've seen you round town!!!
:icon_grin: :icon_grin:

That would be good cos some people might be within the limit, but might think that there not.

Havent had it tested - its decatted too thats highly illegal over here so i try to avoid the traffic commisioners :tongue:

That would be cool, a sound off :icon_headbang:

De-cat downpipe and centre section on mine isn't what bothers me its the loud bang that follows when i lift off the pedal,just ask Ciaran (RS-RA) :lol: :lol:
