[SYD] Exhausts DBs, testing & labels - help needed

Postby James » Wed Nov 17, 2004 11:13 am

Guys I want to get an exhaust that has been tested at 102Db according to the bulrb. I think this is fine, but Im sure the authorities dont.

So, firstly where in Sydney can I get it tested?

Im sure someone could put a baffle in it much the same as Z1000 did to his micron system.

I know I should wait 8 weeks for one with a removable baffle but it'll cost me $200 more also. and I want it NOW!

Hey James,

The new cafe and accessories shop in Berowra (on the left about 50 m past Berowra Waters Rd heading North) had a sign in the window advertising a testing day this coming weekend.

If you are interested I can swing by the shop on my way home tomorrow and have a look for you ... it's a great excuse to take the old road home !

Thanks Dave,

Since I posted this thread this morning, Ive been on the phone to a few people and ended up speaking to the bloke who will be at the Throttle Stop in Berowra on Saturday doing noise tests. His name is John from Crash Test Engineering in Hillsdale. Nice bloke - easy to talk to.

Im getting my new pipe tomorrow which is about 10db over the legal limit, so I'll go and see him up there on Saturday and get a removable baffle from him.

Sounds like a good idea to organise another KSRC ride.

No worries Dave,

Thanks for the reply anyway.

If youre going past the Throttle stop on the weekend and see a Z750 there, come and say Gday.

yeah, john is good at what he does. Put a riveted baffel in my yoshi on the 6R to get it down to 94 db. He also did a custom number plate assembly for the 10R.
