Thanks Mike, I'll definitely be dropping by.
On with the saga....
It was getting just all too easy !
I went for my noise test and failed with flying colours.
The EPA regs say 90db. I clocked in at 93.5db. This is at 3300rpm. There goes $27.50. The guy got a bit upset when I smacked him one....just kidding, but I felt like doing it. Actually I questioned his recording equipment's ability to compensate for ambient noise since the test was done just 20m from Station St in Box Hill - quite noisy. He then launched into a lecture about calibration, sound waves & pressure and I drifted off in boredom. He warned me about stuffing chicken wire down the exhaust and even threatened to dob to the EPA if he caught me - w.nker !
Has anyone got any suggestions about killing off 3.5db easily? I didn't want to have to mod the exhaust.
Needless to say, I blew off some steam driving home !
Cheers,
Adrian.
