B5 S4 and RS4 noise tests
B5 S4 and RS4 noise tests
Ash's and jimbos both have the resonated link pipes. These make a difference and get rid of the boominess in the cabin. The nocat DPs are louder but also deeper than the milltek or gutted stock. I thought both these cars were not overbearingly loud. I think the cars with 100 cell cats and non resonated link pipes are louder.
I think that video link is a miltek downpipe car with a single 3" catback so not really representative of the noise from the RS4 milltek.
time to get that dB meter to get a database of noise levels!

right:
S4 Nocat Milltek DPs, 3" catback s4 ko3 = 82.2dB (Chris_M)
RS4 no cats RS full exhaust(2 boxes) K16s = 94.4dB
S4 nocats full custom(smallish bore) k04 = 82.1dB (Dr_Wimpkins)
Renault Scenic - the Ash express = 81.3dB
more to come.
all done at 1 metre, 45 degree pointing at exhaust, held at 4500rpm - i htink this is the way CC measuret he static noise - when i get my car back today i can check to see how close i measure as i got 99dB nad 100dB on their tests.
chuck this into its own thread somewhere?

i'll do another couple of cars at 5000 and see if there is a common fudge factor to get all these numbers correlated
resonated or non resonated Dave?

Maybe that's because you're a little hard of herring from that damn noisey exhaust of yoursDoug_S2 wrote: I thought both these cars were not overbearingly loud.
