Brake advice?

[Bender]

Hi Psycho, Great to here you have the brakes sorted. Not a bad price either.
With your mufflers. If they are the hot dog style. If you look inside the tube. Some have a raised section at one end of each hole in the perforated tube.
If the raised sections face towards the engine. The flow is a slightly restricted but the noise level is reduced. Some people install them for maximum flow and some for maximum noise reduction. May pay to have a look at yours. It may be the difference you need to meet noise level.

I have the standard mustang brakes on my coupe.
FFR supplied a 3/4” mc for the front and 5/8” for the rear.
What do you have?

[Treeve]

Hang on, are you saying you've got a single 1" cylinder that you then use for all of your brakes at the same time?

Ok just picked up the car from the brake place and this is what they found the reseeded MC was still bypassing on the seals and one of the rear callipers had a small burr on the piston so that was bypassing and the clearance adjuster for preload on the booster was out by 4mm so in the end and $250 smackers it's a goer yay thanks to all of you great people for you advice and recommendations and Treeve look on page 2 of my gallery and there is a pic of the booster and MC once you se it you will go ahhhhh cheers everybody now just one more step and that's to silence the side pipes a bit more 6 more decibels to go
Regards and thanks to all Rob

Hey mate,
I’m not on this forum often and I can’t find your build diary. Can you post a link?

Treeve,

If PSYCHO is referring to his photo gallery, vs say a build log, as I believe he is, you should be able to access it by clicking on the camera under his username, then go to page 2.

Treeve,

In addition to his gallery I mentioned above, I believe he actually may have been referring to his Album entitled 'Slowly', accessed by clicking on his username in any post, then clicking to open the 'Slowly' album and going to page 2. Also, the steps I refer to are when I'm not logged in, as I'm generally not, once logged in it can present slightly different options, but you get the point.

This is it Treeve

Decibels are a logarithmic scale with each 3dB representing a doubling of the noise. So 7 dB isn’t a small increase, it means it’s a little over 4 times louder.

Cheers Psycho

You used the meter.

Have you done this before, do you know the procedure, as used by the Police, Transport Dept etc?

As Treeve has said below, each 3 dB increase represents a noise twice as loud, as perceived by the human ear.

You can see here, you compare to a jet fighter:

I'm glad somebody else knows this.

Great news today the engineer has been over the car with a fine tooth comb and gave me a pass, I have met the sound Db test and the brake test with flying colours soooooo happy👍👍

[Bender]

Hi Psycho. Sounds like you are only days away from Rego. That's awesome mate. You will have a huge grin on your face. Sounds like the you have the exhaust sorted. Enjoy driving it.

Just have to wait for the DMV to receive the engineers report and they will contact me when I can head to the pits fingers crossed.
The seats are just from supercheap only for Rego then I will fit my low backs with a small head rest i back in👍
