Ok here is what I got.. now remember my DB meter is only a Radio Shack one so its not pro equipment but it works pretty darn good

At idle my WB's E-series pipe metered at 91db
At different rev's (didn't gauge the rpms) 102-104db

So if you are using it in the Oregon dunes you will NOT pass.

Thanks!

Its basically the same rules for the sand dunes in Michigan.

Wow. That is LOUD... How far away did you measure it from. I think Oregon standards call for 3 feet at a 45 degrees angle from the pipe???

I measured like they do which is 20" away to the outside of the bike and at a 45 degree angle... the 45 degree angle was a good guess, but I also veried it around from right behind to completely beside the bike... its a noisy pipe and probably wont pass ever in any condition.

The only reason I got rid of my WB E-series pipe is because of the noise it made. There are lot louder bikes out there but last time down im florence I got chased by the sound cops. I don't know if it was my R that was to loud or the Ex but Im not taking any more chances if you know what I mean. If you ask me there is a lot more things out in the world more important than bother people tring to have a little fun with there family and freinds. SOUND LAWS SUCK!!
