Yep! But greatly reduced inside the car and the industrial limit is 110db for up to 15 minutes. So as long as nobody is cruising beside you in an open convertible for 15.01 minutes all is good.


Our legal limit for exhaust here is 87db (which seems like a pretty arbitrary number really).


There is also a set standard on how the "pass by" exhaust volume is measure that I just posted on another thread the other day but be damned if I can remember which thread right now!


Now I am curious and am gonna throw the meter on my TRD exhaust.
