How loud is your car?

[petrolhead01]

10 for 48 bodies on full chat, and 10 for side exit exhaust!! ask the guys who made it to torque of the devil ,especially with the back fire on overrun!! lol !!!

[lead foot]

about 5 on the exhaust and 9 on the carbs !

[w p e]

when its running 10 and 10 plus

when its running 10 and 10 plus

 

 

 

 

What year was yours that loud??

 

Mine was 98 dbs at the back and 102 at the carbs.

 

I then thought about running an open header at Brighton speed trials and borrowed a sound meter for testing with no pipe.

 

The regs say 113 dbs are allowed at Brighton.

 

The Meter goes to 130

 

The car was 128dbs without even reving it!!

 

(10 dbs is about twice as loud and 20dbs is 4 times, so woops!!)

 

As a reference they recon pain from noise starts at 125dbs and the loudest sound recommended WITH hearing protection is 140dbs!

 

 

 

So I give it a 10

Exhaust is a 2 1/4" Big bore race maniold, going into a single box 2 1/4" system and the carbs are Open trumpeted twin 40's

 

All I know if that when I get back from a trip to the Pod I cant hear properly for a couple of hours

 

So overallI'd say a horny 9 out of ten

[escort21]

About 12 as the exhaust keeps falling off the cappa

[Burns]

i'd say a 2, simply because it's got 4 gears and i've been doing a lot of motorway miles in it

[Muttley MK2]

7 for the exhaust and 9 for the induction on the capper, but a flaming 15 odd for my open canned Bandit 6

[ilovegrannys]

Loud as in fluffy dice, tiger seat covers and OSF window sticker!!! LOUD!!

[Mr.Sumo]

Engine noise = 0

 

Exhaust = -1

 

Inside the car = +10 ( no door cards / carpet ....nothing )

 

[ratman]

Sound ok I think

 

 

[Mr.Sumo]

Not bad.....

 

[Mr Sam]

i put the propper air box back on the other day and cant believe how quiet its gone

[Toby]

i put the propper air box back on the other day and cant believe how quiet its gone

 

There's an easy fix to that!!

[bmxdave]

Mines about 8 i think for exhaust, nowhere naar loud enough. Its getting a side exit with no silencers.

 

Induction is about 7 but it sounds brilliant, but when its getting 40's itll be a 10

[dyt397c]

exhaust i reckon about 15!! 2 1/2 pipes with 1 cherry bomb each side with no baffles in!!! induction should be about the same once the superchargers fitted. should be done in next couple of weeks!!!!!
