You will hve to either buy a bung (around £55) and fit it (if you have a rolled lip on your exhaust you will have to drill a hole through both exhaust and bung and bolt it, Castle Coombe dont have a drill) or yes miss out.... i had to do a back box swap in 6 mins not to miss my window on the track...just made it!

Standard manifold, Spoon B pipe and standard backbox got me 87 dB on Friday at 3/4 revs static test

Hey man,

Not sure if I should be directly comparing your test results to the OP's figures, but what I would like to know is - will the exact setup you mentioned above be any/much louder than the std-std-std setup? You think the lady will notice that I've changed it?

im hopeing to do some trackdays this year,with spoon header,kakimoto mid, std back box.

[rich_h]

Manifold, B-pipe, Backbox, level (db)

Std, Std, Spoon, 102
Std, Spoon, Spoon, 104

I'd just like to add: although there is only a 2db difference, adding a Spoon b pipe to a Spoon backbox makes a massive difference to the noise for normal driving (lower revs) even though the maximum noise isn't much different.

Hope that makes sense.

Does anybody know how much dB is Standard,Supersprint unsilenced,Standard?

Yes it's a much deeper note even with standard backbox, it's noticable at low RPM's let alone VTEC

But then seeing as 10DB is twice the volume (ie 100 db would seem twice as loud as 90 db) 2 db is a fairly large volume jump.

[big_matty]

Ive currently got standard-Magnexsilenced-Magnex 6x4, How much louder do you think Standard-DC-DC would be?

[jamesctr2005]

i have just youtube spoon back box and watch the comparrisons between completly standard and with spoon back box and there dosnt seem to be much of a volume change imo.
so where can i get a spoon n1 lol.

Does anyone know the db for Toda Catback?

[Jaywood]

Does anyone know the db for Toda Catback?

As mentioned in this thread, with a Race Manifold the Toda is about 94-96db. With the OEM Manifold, no idea, but obviously less then 94db. Mine was certainly quieter before I put my Race Mani on.

[ryanthetriad]

Ok thanks, seen the price on toda catback, same price as mugen catback.

Does TODA mani pass MOT?

[Euphoria]

bit worried i have a buddy club spec 3 catback, im looking to go to a <105db trackday... what db is the b/c spec3 with standard manifold? anyone done a test? All i know is its pretty dam loud!!! :scratch:

[mat]

Does TODA mani pass MOT?

no cat so it shouldn't...

but...

i have heard folks on here saying that they have passed mot with no cat, but its rare and might not be true.

or,

maybe if you know an mot tester that needs an extra 20 quid in their back pocket it might pass??

mat.

Haha thats what I thought as well, if you search through this forum, I found a member who brought and fitted a mugen manifold header to the cat!

Do you have a decat Mani too? If yes, I don't think you have a hope in hell of passing. My prospec+mani sound awesome, just very sure it's over 105db.

Interested if they have a db meter.
