Sorry it took so long to get these up, but I've been flat out with other stuff at the moment.

I haven't even really started on the photos as I don't have a photobucket account, etc., etc., excuses, excuses....

anyhow, hope this works....

The legal limit is 90dB for vehicles built post 1986. It is tested by placing the dB meter 1 meter away from the rear of the vehicle at exhaust outlet height and the car being revved to 75% of the tacho redline. The measurement includes recording from idle to the assigned RPM (75% of redline) and from the assigned RPM back to idle.

There are some ways to alter the assigned RPM. For example as my car has internal engine mods (stroker etc) I was able to determine my own redline therefore my stationary noise test was completed at 3000RPM, which is how it is listed on my engineers cert. I was however subject to conduct a full EPA test including engine emissions test etc to be able to do this.

Glad to be able to contribute something back to society and hopefully make it to the next cruise too.
