Silverstone, 23/3

Excuse my ignorance but how loud is 100db? I know the SV would never have passed, but the Exup has a Remus (I think) exhaust on it. I don't even know if it is a race exhaust or not. It doesn't have a removable baffle, I know that much. I don't think its that loud. At least nowhere near in the same bracket as the SV was.

Does it have a fixed baffle (My old micron had one welded in)
If it does it is probably no louder than 98db
As for how loud i suppose it is the same as a jack hammer or loud concert (according to world wide web)
I have an app for my iphone i might try next time i am out.

I've never really taken much notice of it really. It's round and shiny with a few scratches on it. Came with the bike. I think it is probably road legal as it doesn't seem that loud to me.

Reasons not to put a silly exhaust on your bike, number 387.

Si, 100dB is equivalent to standing 1m away from a jackhammer in use.

To put it in perspective, a C&U regs limited standard exhausts on bikes from 1991 onwards to 87dB. 100dB is more than twice as loud as a standard pipe.

No problems at all with this one then. Was just wondering as I heard that some circuits had limits which prevented bikes with standard cans on the track as they failed the noise test.

According to the Quill website my exhaust is road legal with the baffle fitted
So if a few people are going to do this one then that will be a yes from me
Nothing else to do on Bank Holidays anyway

I've booked it.

Should be able to book a slot in February I'll let you know when, but with a move in the planning, might have to put it on the back burner.

No rush. It's more than two months away, after all.

But if you fail to show up, I'll hunt you down and kill you.
