has anyone bought a cheap one decibel meter?
I also have a skunk2 de-cat with my supercharger. And yes it is LOUD!
Getting a larger central silencer welded in mid march as well as a resonator box to eliminate (Hopefully) all the drone in the 3k - 4k rpm range.

That's mine with the tanabe, love the exhaust. Only gets loud when you want it too. Too many aftermarket exhausts drone.... Deafening in the cabin.

Single exhausts tend to be less restrictive but sound louder. For a while I had a 5Zigen Miracle Fireball and I loved it, I could shoot flames out the back of it .... however my neighbors hated it :-(

I've the dual HKS HiPower Silent, decat and custom header and I'm really happy with it. Its quiet around town, and sounds fantastic when opened up (according to the Marshall's at Gurston Down anyway). Consistently hits 94db at 4.5k static test and never pulled from track, unlike Mike Fifth with MBs old single.

I had the DMS Pro65 before so to be fair, anything would sound cleaner and less boomy/drony than that.

I've had a few exhausts and can confirm that a super chargers makes an exhaust sooo much more louder than the stated DB's when NA..

The Tanabe MT is 93db complaint when NA. It is not with an SC attached though. With an SC it does pass a 98db static tests but doesn't a flyby like at Donny.

Great exhaust with and awesome tone, allowed on most tracks (some 98 & all 105db's), makes power over larger diameter exhaust like the shitty DMS one I had and.............. has zero drone!.

I may have to go custom then. It looks like there is no exhaust with charger that is safe of track limits. Thanks for replying people

I'm sure at other 98db tracks you may be ok. Donny are really really particular about noise limits, they have a rough time with the local council.

I got warned about noise limits twice from control, so set my rev limiter to 7k, then got kicked off for tyre squeal after drifting around the hairpin.

Waste of a trackday for me unfortunately.

So the tanabe medallion touring is a single system that should get me on track. It's states 93db so with the charger say 98db I should be safe. It's just £900 wasted if it doesn't work
