Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

That's was a good idea. I wonder if they are going to do it again this year. I'll look into it. I'm probably borderline; but compared to the Honda Civics with 9" pipes not so much.
Speaking of exhaust I was thinking of putting on some directional tips on the end of the pipes. I keep FJ in one of those Costco Canvas carports and my exhaust spatter is starting to show. I'm not sure where they measure the decible level from but it would probably help. :hmm:
 
wonder what they do if your item you have tested fails. hand you a big fat fine right then and there?
 
Gotcha!!! I know I thought of that too.

I talked to Heidi today. She said they did it for the last few years and a pretty good turn out. Due to budget crunch they couldn't afford it this year. Like FJ60 said it was maily for bikes and ATVs. They had DNR officers, Honda, Yakima trail guys, and other user groups there to show different things.

She said Straddeline has the decible meter and offers the service on site. I drive down there a lot so I'll swing in and see if there is a fee. :steer:
