Looking at a cat bypass exhaust. Car is mostly track oriented but I will be going for coffee on the weekends and driving about town as well. I can have the exhaust tuned to a specific DB level. I drive mostly at VIR/CMP/Road Atlanta but can't find any explicit limits on sound levels. Looking for something that has a good balance between performance/track/passion but isn't stupid when i am driving about town.

This is the FVD exhaust.

Thoughts/experience welcome.

Thanks

 

I wonder what the db level will be inside the car - if you look at the OSHA guidelines; you may need earplugs for prolonged exposure.

 

Will typically be wearing helmet when at wot. Earplugs easy if it is truly too loud.

 

My response was really just a public service announcement - i dont know much about cars but hearing loss is my expertise. OSHA suggests only 2 hours of exposure at 100db, 8 hours at 90 db. Helmet not much sound reduction; foam earplugs will reduce db by 20- 25 db and would be fine.

 

Will that require a new tune??

 

I have FVD...it's loud...but me likey

 

I will be doing tune and intercoolers as well.

 

What!!?

 

 

FVD definitely belongs to the louder exhausts. Did you check for Capristo? Soundwise very good and not as ridiculous expensive like the Akrapovic.
