Pre 1982??? were allowed 96db. They test the car at half its rev range, my race Z at the time made 124db at 3,500 rpm. Even with a rear section that reduced from 2.5inches to 1 3/4 inches in a triple bend muffler it only made it down to 96db.<br>https://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/88492Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:46:20 GMT Stock exhaust was 92 db pretty sure <br>What state was this inhttps://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/88490Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:40:39 GMT Your car has to be quieter then 90db. If you have an aftermarket exhaust odds are you wont pass.<br> Best option is have a interchangable end section, the guys that do the testing are usually an exhaust shop and thye will give you some options.<br>https://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/88465Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:48:04 GMT got a lovely letter today from epa apparently a police officer noticed my car was to loud on a sunday morning 2 am, i dont remember even being there at the time lol but now i got a exhaust noise test to pass, <br>i dont even know what the standard db reading is, any ideas ? <br>https://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/88450Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:30:15 GMT
