my original post was a slight exaggeration, you can hear it. my point was just that if that really is the legal limit it is stupidly quiet, and absolutely any aftermarket exhaust greatly exceeds it.

*btw, there is zero sarcasm in my reply. i know it's hard to tell with typed words what the mindset is of the typist, but i can assure you i meant no sarcasm at all.
