916 How Loud, 916 With Termi "silencers"

  1. I am considering doing a track day on my 97 916 which is mostly standard apart from the termignoni "silencers"
    Anyone know who loud this is likely to be?
    And if standard exhaust fitted?
    Cheers
     
  2. What sort of Termis do you have?
    45 half system/45-50 half system/full 50 or above?

    Also, where are you going and what is the limit?

    My 916SPS with full 50 system never needed baffles.

  3. You can get an idea of the noise level with a dB app on your phone.

  4. Its a 45 half system.
    Which dB app do you use
     
  5. I’ve got a full 50mm system, an it’s 101db
    Only place I struggle with is the quiet days at donny (98db) and castle Combe due to how they noise test, they are 105db at 3/4 rpm so it’s about 8k rpm, all other noise tests are about 5.5krpm, just pull the clutch in a bit to get the quiet spot to stop the clutch rattle
     
  6. My old 853 sps track bike was bang on 100db but never got pulled for noise
     
  7. I was thinking about Mallory at 98dB, would it be quiet enough even with the standard pipes?

  8. Is that a static limit or drive by?
     
  9. I don't use one - I've seen it done by someone else though :)
     
  10. You can just turn up to any TD and get a noise check
     
  11. I'm not sure, I'll find out
     
  12. Not many around me in Devon

  13. Both, static before start and monitored with drive by
     
  14. If it’s 98dB static then you’d be pushing it with Termis. Standard pipes would be ok though...probably.
     
  15. I've got 50mm Termis, I can't say it really sounds any louder than with the 45mm Termis that I originally had.

    The box they came in has '102db' written on it (don't know if that's normal?) and an iphone app confirms that to be about right.

    I doubt you'd get under 100db with any aftermarket cans...
     
  16. I did Cadwell last year, no problem and the scrutineer smiled
