desibles on stock pipes?

[mml03102]

Nh is going to be cracking down and lowering the decible readings, does anyone know what my stock 2 into 1 on my 04 Pitbull will read?

if you have a smart phone you can down load a sound meter app and measure it yourself. Some music venues/ police, have sound meters that they may take a reading for you.

thinking it is somewhere around 85db.

Are you sure you don't have an exemption as describe by the following linK?

http://www.nhcalm.org/Motorcycle-Noise-Pollution-Reduction-Act.pdf

Which says "...This section is applicable to a person operating a street motorcycle that is newly manufactured on or after January 1, 2013, or a street motorcycle with aftermarket exhaust system equipment that is newly manufactured on or after January 1, 2013."

Thank you for the link to that document , that is good news . But it sounds aas tho they are just talking abiout the label but there also talking about lowering the decible from 106 to 82 for all bikes , nothing def yet tho.

I will find out where I stand when I go for a sticker next month and if its 85 db like Ringo said I will be all set.

I would think that you would be exempt since you have factory stock exhaust which was approved at the time of manufacture.

Before I put on my BR 2 into 2 pipes on I checked my stock pipes and they were 75db. My BR pipes are 85bd. I think the law is 84.6bd.

Thanks ,Knowing that I shouldnt have a problem:up:

a friend checked the decible level on my bike it is 116 , lol come to find out the inner baffle was removed , what a dumb ass ,lol.
So I am looking for a baffle if anyone knows where I can find one , tried JP cycles already , they dont have any.

 

[woodbutcher]

hummm, 116, that's just below the level of a jet at takeoff.:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

 

[mml03102]

lol , does get peoples attention , really going to hate to put a baffle in it

Then, leave it like it is and tell the first police officer that their Decibel meter is broken and go get it fixed.:roll::roll::roll:

I am not the person to comply like you are. I would move to another state before I let them get away with this new law. But, I would fight like crazy before this becomes new law.

Boy do I love Louisiana and its politics.

lol , need to quiet down so I can get a sticker , then I can take it out again till next year
