max db reading on a spoon exhaust?

[slow_poke]

Hey guys i got a epa notice for my exhaust, and i was just wondering what is the legal limit?
i heard it's 90db but i'm not sure if they have changed that.
Also i have a spoon muffler [not the street one] and was wondering what is the max it produces?
Also what do they rev the car up to when testing, because i have a non-vtec and my car kicks in around 3.5-4rpm.

Also i'm in Victoria.


cheers

[90LAN]

its about 104db

90db limit, revs test at about 4 to 4.5k rpm
also must be under 90db when under lift off

an if the car back fires, or pops, instance fail, be mindful of that

Best advice, dont go in there expecting that you will pass with this cat back, like everyone else, whack on that stock exhaust, instant pass :)

from memory they test every car at 3/4 of where its peak power is reached.. so eg.. b18c7 will be tested at around 6000rpm lol gg vtec

for a k series the stock ecu wont let you rev past 5k whilst stationary not sure if this is the same for b series?

off topic but why is it limited?

safety feature, i think the ecu has a limiter- could easily remove it i guess. but why would you want to sit there and rev bash anyway lol.

stops people revving the shit out of the motor
