I had the centre muffler refitted this morning. So the exhaust is now stock standard. Needless to say it passed the noise test.

For those who are interested the results were:

3928 rpm 81dba

deceleration 81 dba

without the muffler the results were:

3928 rpm 89 dba

deceleration 93 dba

the legal limit is 90 dba

Without the muffler the car was still much quieter than my AC cobra replica with 220kw xr8 motor. But my Cobra is under 90 dba.

I think the issue with these cars might be that all the miose comes from a single point (exhaust). With a twin system the (exit both sides of the car) noise is split between 2 points so the microphone registers a lower reading. Where as a person standing behind the 2 cars would say the Cobra was way louder.

Thank you to everbody for your input.
