Not Ranked
I just had my SPF at the smog referee here in San Pablo Calif. yesterday to finish up with my registration for smog exemption. They have to put the sniffers up the pipes and fire up the car to make a record for certification of exemption. Anyway, during the 2500 rpm cycle, the tech. put a decibel meter at 24 inches from the sidepipe exit and got a 107 db reading. He said in Calif. 95 db is the maximum level allowed by law. Hell, no wonder my ears have a dull ring to them after an hour in the saddle. We're going up the coast next month to Mendocino, weather permitting, and will be sporting ear plugs and discrete ear mufflers.
