well as the title stats i have a buddy club spec 2 exhaust just from the cat back and was wondering wat is the decibel noise off them????( it doesn't have to be exact or anything) and wat does any body know is the legal decibel limit for a car in Ireland??? if any body could help it would be much appriceated :):):)
the reason for this question is because the guards(police in ireland) told me that my exhaust was too loud with out even checking it with a decibel tester thing lol
 
No idea on the legal limit over there but the Spec 2 WILL be over it without a doubt! Not sure on the DB rating for the Spec 2 either but as a rough example Buddyclub UK wouldnt import me one when i had my Yaris and they wouldnt sell my mate one for his MK2 CRX because they`re too loud for British legal limits which is 98db lol.
 
I know that exhaust. Full rev will do 120db, no doubt about it. With decat that is. I think you can substract 5 to 10db if you still got a cat.
 
andrew man im havin serious probs with them at the minute they dont need the db rating for mary fahy they bring you to court and she will make sure you pay some how the spec 2 is one of the loudest exhausts for the 9 i have an apexi db reducer its the one with the active release system it opens proper when you give it socks if you want we can try it on ur car and see if it makes a difference i got it in from nengun for my levin when i had the straight through on it if you like it il give it to ya for half what i paid im goin back to standard ek9 axle back dont mind losin hp as im getin b18 done at the min:nice:
 
Im not 100% on this but i think the db level is between 75 and 79db.Our local law enforcer says they will be given new db readers next month and also they are geting window gadgets to check if your window tint is too dark.He said that even the 3 back windows will need too be under the limit.I wouldnt say it will matter with factory tint!
 
thanks for all the comments lads ill try get it checked myself some day and see wat it act is

if u got a spec 2. But put a Electronic Valve on the exhaust so it would be quiter when not giving it the bean. And then flick the switch to unleash the noise. But I dont know how much that would bring the noise down by.

haha funny sure louder the better lol
 
the legal decible is 88db i think, they are bringing db testing into the hct now aswell and the db limit is 99 db as far as i know, and a buddyclub spec 2 is gonna be WAY over that with out a doubt, i was half thinkng of getting one for my coupe when i had it but i didn fancy risking it with the local piggies haha, the 5zigen pro racer did the job perfectly for me, but now the s15 i hav is just like thunder going down the road lol, can bearly drive through eyre square now coz it backfires and pops like fook :D:D:D:D

@ steve best of luck with the b18 was talking to liam lastnight and told me he had it fin, whe will be some weapon now, soo much for recession everybody is getting a b18 round these parts haha
 
specll all the way i love mine :) does give me headaches though haha

sound man best of look wit da new wheels wat colour is it (its hardly a white one wit a black bonnet)
 
I got pulled and tested with a buddy club style homemade and it was 114db the officer couldn't believe it ;)
 
My mates made a 125db with manifold and decat lol
 
i can see why people get them, but personally they are WAY too loud. its almost like they have sat at the design table and all got their heads together to create the most ridiculous exhaust.

just driving round town it drones like a twat. each to their own!

id say 120 db is about right, its ridiculous! most track limits are 100

like my legalis r :D
 
IMO u need a seriously quick car to run a spec2 and lets face it, most stock hondas aint quick enough to pull it off.

Thumbs up for a wicked back box design tho.
