I'm really looking forward to taking it for a few runs. I'm going to have to stick a beany and a warm jacket on though.

Even with the asthmatic pusilanimous 2" exhaust on it still gets up and moves.

Slowy, You're best to ask Bernie when you speak to him next. He'll tell you the oficial noise requirements, I'd probably tell you the wrong thing.

When I originally tested it at home I had it on a setting which covers the whole audible spectrum I think. I did it @ about 1/2 a meter and reved the car to about 3,500RPM. I wasn't sure what the rules stated but it was 87dB on my meter.

Suposedly you have to rev it to the point where the motor make max power which for an LS1 was about 4K. I was sitting in the car watching the tacho with my foot on the gas so I'm not sure what he was doing back there. I think Bernie tested it at about a meter @ 45 degrees to the tail pipe.

You're welcome to borrow my meter if you want to get an idea if your exhaust will pass.

Cheers
