For some time I have had the belief that 95dBA was the acceptable level for exhausts for compliance in Victoria.

However, yesterday I spoke with the EPA and they have told me that the level is 90dBA for any vehicle post November 1st, 1983.

Have they moved the guidelines.

The Royal Automobile Club Victoria (R.A.C.V) site indicates 90dba also.

Has anyone got old auto magazine reports or levels?

For example in 1990 was the level actually 95 dBA and they now have back dated the dBA level to November 1st 1983 and lowered it to 90dBA.

I'm talking Victoria here as South Australia is higher.
