Has anybody here actually measured how loud their car is? A track near me that I have friends that frequent has a 98dB limit, and I'm pretty sure that at above 4k rpm, I'm way way over that. I think I was over that with just headers, but the track was new and they let me stay. Not so sure they'd be that generous now that they're somewhat established.

So if you know your dB, please post it here with what you have in/on your car, please.

depends on mods. I was hitting 101 dba at 50 ft with no cats, borla stinger exhaust on 02 Z06

Not sure, but here's mine at 5mph. Oh and the tag on the video made me LOL.

This is a good question actually, I knew I was forgetting to do something, measure my db's lol. I'd like to find out mine before I start to quiet it down a bit.

When I have to wear my shooting "ear pro" when driving for any extended period of time (longer than 30 min), I guess that means I'm too loud....

ya, thats why i was hoping to get a sampling with people who may know so i could gauge relatively

101 with no headers or cam, i swear.

Lingenfelter motor, cam, intake, Dynamax headers, no cats, , Borla Stingers Dual tips.

104 at 50 feet

102.3 at 50 feet with Super Trapps running 12 plates (with washers)

oh wow, if all of that only hit 104, then i may not be at 98, after all.

question is at what rpm is everyone measuring? I know for at least NJ state it's supposed to be measured 20 inches from the exhaust tip and revved to 2/3 of the rev range. Highest dB reading is recorded.

I'm pretty darn sure that I am waaaaaayyyyy over the 95dB limit, however haven't gotten ticketed by a cop for it. I try to keep it civil around town. Now since you'll be at a track, civility goes out the window

Why on earth would a track have a DB limit??

Last C5

Almost every track has sound limits. The more population around the track the lower the limit. Even Thunderhill, who doesn't have a neighbor for five miles, has a 103 db noise limit.

Last C5

Most tracks tend to sample at a spot where your hitting your third to fourth gear shift point.

My mind has just exploded. I had literally no idea. My local track doesn't care how loud the cars are.

this track in particular is dealing with legalities of horse ranches nearby, thus the lower than normal dB limit.
