While a 2 or 3 decibel change in noise levels between different muffler options may not seem significant it is important to remember that for every 3 decibel change this represents a 50% reduction or increase in noise levels. All measurements have been taken in accordance with SAE J1074 at maximum rpm and 100% load. A load of 80% was used for back pressure readings.
