Hi there,

Is there a decent decibel meter that people here have used?

Where did you get it and what was the cost? Web the best place to go?

I want to test my exhaust. :smile:

I've never used them, personally, but Radio Shack sells SPL meters:

I have used the Radio Shack sound level meter to tune/balance my home theater and measure the loudness of the supertrapp exhaust.

I used my Radio Shack meter inside my MC to test the Rogue Exhaust levels...fun and frightening if you look at OSHA data!

About 50 bucks.

Hey! What a great excuse! I'll speed past them and when they pull me over I'll say,

"Whew, I've been looking for you. May I use your Decibel meter?"

Maybe not...

60 this weekend in Wisconsin! Woohoo! Open sunroof day!

I'm headed up to Appleton to visit relatives. My previous plan was to head over to Milwaukee. Next time!
