Where do ya live? I have a dB meter. I live in melbourne!!
I got done by epa last week for having an exhaust that was too loud. I am testing it myself tonight to see how loud I really am. The limit is 96dB for pre 1983 vehicles and 90dB for cars after that. The measure it at about 4 and a half thousand rpm at a meter away on a 45 degree angle.
I will let you know how loud my exhaust is in the near future and if have you have any qustions or quries just let me know and I will be glad to help.
Cheers

Ive had that setup before.
Yuo shouldnt be attracting attebtion with that. Sounds like you muffler was a resonator, and not really muffling. |
