    Anyone know the procedure for testing a car exhaust and what's the limit?Old thread here says anything from 1m to 7.5m away from the car and sustained RPM at 3750 and the limit is 99dB

    I have access to a decibel meter here today so I'm a bit bored.Anyone else fancy giving it a go? No cheating though. :)
