my mate and i are doing a track day on the bikes, noise limit is 102db, we havent got any baffles for our exhausts.

I downloaded an app for my nokia x6, cant get it past 100db, so i dont know if 100 is the max it will go or what?

Anyway I'm asking if anyone has one locally to taunton that we could meet up and just do a quick sound test, thanks, Allen

If you can't find anyone locally to do a test then you can buy a db meter at Maplin for £30. Cheaper than turning up on a track day to be sent home again.

If there are any other trackdays local to you before the one you're planning, give them a call and see if you can turn up at lunchtime just to be noise-tested. Motorsport Events were happy to do that for the Mustang (106db paperbag).

Very low priced DB meters are not always accurate wink

Dulford Automotive have one.

Not too far down the M5 from Taunton, give them a ring .... they're a friendly bunch.
