Well here's the first of the goodies I brought back with me from China.
With all the Hoo-Ha going on about exhaust noise and emissions etc I thought I'd better get myself some test equipment.
This is a digital sound level meter and it's a neat piece of kit. It's got some cool features like being able to filter out background noise and a max hold feature. Max hold means I can set it up and then hop in the car and do a run up then hop out and se what the peak reading was.
I figure if I'm building side pipes then I'll want to know what sort of results diffeent baffles give.
The Ute did 89.2 dB at 1 Meter on a run up to 3000 RPM.
I'll post some info on the other new toy once I've set it up.
Cheers
