Technically, it's 93db.

In reality, it's whatever the cop wants it to be.

That's what Officer Jenkins of Fairfax's finest told me when he gave me an exhaust ticket. Regardless...

unless you have some FI, na anything, especially a 4-banger usually sounds like crap. Thats my opinion, but I've yet to hear one I like. V8's are good of course. And are excluded. Just buy what you want and keep it off the revlimiter in cop heavy areas, or when you see one.
