Noise level from standard Mk Blade Exhaust
Jim - 21/9/04 at 01:33 PM

Does anybody know the noise level from a standard Mk Blade exhaust. I have a track day booked and the limit is 105 dB. When SVa'd it was 101 db at 5k.

What rev's do people use for track day static tests?

I showed 102db @7500rpm at Castle combe in august, car is a factory built Stuart Taylor Blade with what seems like a worn out silencer at the mo! you should be OK i would have thought, 105db is quite loud!

Cheers, at the moment the exhaust (redline race can) can be heard about 1 mile away. Will have to change to old Mk one then for track day

IIRC ours is a ST exhaust via MK. At SVA first test showed 104Db at 7850rpm when clogging it, it would surely exceed 105Db.

Maybe a bit of packing would come in handy...

You didnt mention the twenty minutes of hammering,shaping and of course the cursing .Mainly about the plonker doing the emissions tests admittedly!

Been to Mk to inquire about the inserts. Just want to say thanks for the time and the metal tube

Excellent service as usual

Cheers
