UEL Header + Invidia N1 Noise Level
 
Hi Guys,
I live in Australia and here we have noise restrictions on our cars. I really want a UEL header setup with an Invidia N1 catback but I'm afraid that without the silencers it will be too loud. Does someone have a db reading of how loud the setup is? It would really help me out. Preferably someone who has catless headers as I want Tomei UEL catless headers.

Thanks

mines 85+ from inside the car...i wouldn't recommend it if you're dealing with sound restrictions

I'll attempt to get an outside measurement for you. I'd assume it'd be similar sound levels, but this car is also not very good with sound blocking and interior resonance, even thoughi've got Stinger Roadkill CLD tiles all over the car. My setup below, fully catless but overall 3 resonators so

Borla UEL Catless Header
HKS Dual Resonated Front Pipe (highly recommend this, really fills out the sound/deep growl)
Stock Overpipe
Invidia N1 Catback with Resonator

I would be very weary....the Q300 is much more quiet than the N1.

I can get you N1 with stock headers if that info is helpful to you at all.

Ohh what part of melbourne you from?

In the morning when i would cold start her and it would idle above 1000rpm , the whole street could hear it lol!! once it went to normal idle level you couldnt hear it unless you pressed on the accelerator.

I forgot to mention that i had a tune on the car if that changes anything.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Man,
Yeah that would be helpful, at least I could get an idea of the sound at least. If you could do that it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply

Hey Man,
Anything will do. If it's too much hassle don't stress but any measurement you get would be very much appreciated.

I'm from Heidelberg/Rosanna area. What about you?

Haha sounds like fun!
I don't think the tune would change the sound of the car.

Thanks for the reply

Tsudo UEL catless header, Invidia overpipe, Invidia catless fp, Invidia N1 catback = LOUD.. I daily drive w/ this setup and although its loud, I've learned to tolerate it 65mph and below. But my ears savor those moments I drive the gf's camry.
