Dear Car Owner, Heres another fine, Love, The Fuzz.

isnt there an exsessive acceleration llaw they cna ping u on?

in the case of a race or an exhibition of speed or acceleration,—

(i)the speed of the vehicle is within the applicable speed limit or speed limits; and

(ii)the vehicle operator does not contravene any enactment other than this section that applies in relation to the operation of the vehicle;

Im not putting my silencer is. I'll ask a cop to rev his V8 and see how loud that is...

Anyways I gone pass cops already and none have bothered. Just chuck it in neutral as you go pass em. Unless you lapping you have no reason to stop and go often.

cops have v6's (generally)
hopefully they just focus on the excessively loud cars and the dickheads who rev the crap out of every gear every time...

There is actually nothing illegal about accelerating as fast as possible as long as you don't break traction or exceed the speed limit.

Are you certain about that?
I thought there was a law regarding "excessive accelleration" or something along those lines.

You will get busted dude your car sound's like pooh's and is way too loud for an n/a.. Put another res in the system..

Oh and I haven't come across a V8 cop car as of yet!!

Thats exactly my point, a V8 at 90db will be not anywhere near as annoying as a 1600 4 banger @ 90db

If the officer is measuring in dBA, he or she is using a sound level meter with the A weighted scale applied. This scale compensates for the ear's different sensitivity, at low levels, throughout the frequency range.

As per the Fletcher and Munson curves, the human ear is naturally more sensitive to mid range frequencies at low levels (dB SPL). This flattens out with increased loudness.

A set measuring distance should also be implemented in the testing procedure.

So to summarise, 90dBA from a V8 should have the same perceived loudness as 90dBA from a 1600 straight four.

for sure 90dBa is 90dBA, but a poxy 20v or a vtec will still sound like a piece of poo at 90dBA as opposed to a smoother rumble of a V8.

it's a wee bit like a minor engine miss. on a four banger it will be blatantly obvious, but a the number of cylinders increase, the miss will be less noticeable.

muscle V8s sound like they have something brocken, I would rather listen to VTAK or 20V trumpet noise then sound of the 70yo technology

Actually there is a law agains excessive acceleration. It's another subjective one. If a cop deems your rate of acceleratoin unecessary he can fine you for it.
