I think thier little thingy is broken. A telephone dial tone is like 80 db.

Isn't the stock pipe rated at like 88 db or something ? Its printed on the can but i'm to lazy to go look right now.

The guy out back held his measuring stick on the end of the pipe to determine the exact distance and at 45* from the outlet. He handed me the sheet with a 66 on it and i said thank you very much!!!!!!
The process seamed very scientific and it only revved about 2500 - 3000 at most.
I guess there is a standard method of measurement for AMA events.
Sounds like they were doing it scientifically. Still sounds low, but hey good is good run with it. I wondered how they tested bikes with no tach.

56db is a normal conversation and he wrote down 66?

I'm going to tell you, for sure, that the guy who thought your bike was at 66 dB was WRONG. He screwed up. 66 is so far from reality that I can be certain that it is wrong. I fart louder than 66.
