Usually I am not much of a poster, but I felt I should at least let you guys know that I am another owner of a D with a stainless steel FF exhaust.. Before I got the car, the cat was already removed and a custom exhaust was built for it. When I bought the car, it was LOUD (other dutch owner who have seen me on club meetings last year would know what I was talking about). I don't know any dB numbers, but ear plug would have been nice.. Since then, I have ordered some new stainless steel mufflers, which greatly reduced the noise, but not the performance (grin).. The sound coming from my car is now at a perfectly acceptable level; a bit louder than a regular car, but still very acceptable and way within the legal limits. Like I said, I am not often looking to this list, but if you need more info, please contact me directly via email.. Rob v/d Veer. VIN 3695. > -----Original Message----- > > I would love to record the sound of the new exhaust - I will try > but don't hold your breath.
