Title: Exhaust DB levels in FL Post by: WPBSMOKA on February 02, 2006, 11:37:57 AM I have a 400ex with a full WB R4 exhaust. I know this thing is loud, and I know they sell a quiet core or whatever for it. But does anyone think it would be too loud to ride at say Croom or something along that lines? Pretty much anything is a drive for me, so I don't want to get somewhere and have to leave because my exhaust might be a pinch louder than the next guys. I really couldn't even say if it's any louder than other aftermarket exhausts. So any feedback on how strict they are, or if my exhaust is even at risk to exceed the levels, it would be much appreciated.

a little side note, I have been riding in Ocala since '88 and have been stopped by a ranger MANY times or otherwise spoken with them, and NEVER have they checked for the spark arrestor.

Just didn't want to tick other riders off it was an issue. I will purchase a spark arrestor, but funds recently depleted from much needed parts. (brakes, filter cleaner, clutch cable etc.)Thanks again Id@
