How Loud is your Exhaust ?

The other day i got my exhaust read by a decible meter. I read a 109 decible from up close and 97 from 25 feet away. 80 decibles the the legal limit. Anyone else had their exhaust read?

the only bad thing about the loud exausts is that you get pulled over all the time

Mine turns heads on the highway when I down shift.

I have a modified Tri-Flo, that was cut down 10", and had 2 new pipes bent and welded in to clear the rear subframe of my 330ti.

Mine is the silver 330ti passing the camera on the highway 1:00 into the video.

Check out Carmen's E46 M3, is is nasty with the racing exhaust.

95db is the PA state limit, and thats ridiculously loud.
A guy i work with has a Ram 1500 with a 460 supercharged, running straight pipes to dual stacks. he got pulled over 3 times on the way to work one day and lives 15 minutes away.
