Anybody know the average decibels emitted during standard testing for a properly packed FMF Turbine Core 2 DB on an EC250?
 
Thanks guys. I just bought the bike and repacked the silencer as a part of the preparation for an up coming ride. I have to be below 96 db but it doesn’t seem that quiet. I even went with the FMF Turbine Core II Q Pillow Silencer Packing.
 
These tests seem to be inconsistent. Warm your bike up 1st and stand on the right side during the test to keep engine/pipe noise out of it (if they'll let you).
I've got a "db snorkel" on mine and have still been getting some high readings. Most of those were, I think, because they didn't have a tach. or because the book didn't have an r.p.m. listing for my bike.
Last weekend they had a tach. and the r.p.m. spec for my '03 EC300 (3490, I think ?). I stood on the right but they asked me to sit on it. They controlled the throttle and I blew an 86, f.w.i.w.
 
Proper test procedure is the rider on the bike, using a tach and tester controlling throttle.
