PS.... I agree about the ear plugs....My 522 motor at 10 feet registers 92 dba at idle and 116 dba at 2600 rpm.

That roughly translates to about 74 dba and 95 dba respectively at 80 feet away.

Mohuska, ahhh, Shanghai, fond memories, I spent ten years there constructing three factories, went to Tianjin and now in Zhuhia, Southern China, 45 mins from Hong Kong. Not sure what you are refering to when you say hot women I being an upstanding gent and all, go to church regularly on Sunday, wait a minute there ain't no churches here, sooo what does that leave?????? yep, you guessed it wine, women and song and not necessarily in that order.

Also, is there a difference in the tonal effect coming from SS pipes vs the mild steel?

Any help would be much apprecaited.

Thanks, tin-man
