Exhuast Decibel level thread.

[ffeschjeff]

Figured I'd start an interesting thread for how loud our different Exhuast setups are at cold start.

I Downloaded "Sound Decibel Meter" off the Google play store. I've included a picture so you can see which one it is.

Apple users I'm not sure what app you can use. But if someone on apple can pick one then everyone else can use it.

Let's see those readings! And what setup you have installed! I recorded about 50 seconds and then screen shot the results.

Obviously a standalone decibel meter would be best but this will give others a good visual of how loud each setup is at cold start when it is loudest. Have the app or meter in your hand standing about 4 feet from the back of you're truck.

My Exhuast setup is a 22" Magnaflow 3" inlet dual 2.5" outlet with factory resonators and 5" tips.

At what distance from exhaust outlet?

Sound pressure level changes exponentially with distance from the source.

68.9 @ 115km/h, stereo off, summer tires, stock pentastar exhaust. Taken 5:07am, southbound hwy 2 between the 40th st exit and Balzac, AB.

Nice and quiet.

I was about 4 feet.

I really like the sound of my 2024 1500 stock exhaust.
There several RAM 1500's around here with aftermarket exhausts. Too loud for me!

Yeah, my days of running around with cut off Thrush Mufflers ending behind the front seat are LONG Over. Back than, ran true duals to thrush mufflers, no cats those days, just a wee bit loud.

I was famous for using the old header mufflers as an exhaust when i was like 16 to maybe 20,the ones that after about a month were just a hollow 2ft extension off the headers
My Dad hated them,as he could hear me turn off the highway onto our gravel road which was a smidge over 2 miles south of the farm.
As a teenage nutbar,the pedal was always buried when i hit the gravel road

Wonder what this would have shown up as lmao.

16' RAM ARH 1 3/4" headers with Cats and Corsa exhaust cold start

Recently installed ARH headers and the truck is way too loud with the Corsa exhaust, time to change it up to something milder.Still no drone on the highway, ...

I lost the need for attention when I grew up.

I lost the need for attention when I grew up.

As I get older, the less attention I draw, the better for both me and my wallet.

I like my daily driver nice and quiet so I can hear the stereo and converse with passengers. My fun cars are loud, if I get the urge to make some noise I have options…
