Message	95 dB(A) measured at 45 degrees, 18" from each tail pipe at 75% of max power rpms. I know two guys who were ticketed, took the test and passed. SEMA says 90% of ticketed cars pass. It would be good for you if Florida passed such a law. We tested 4 exhausts and I posted the results on tt.net about 1 year ago. A 2.5" B&B would have failed. I sold my 3" B&B for a resonated LaBree because of the noise issue (primarilarly 2 - 3 K rpm resonance).
