For anyone interested in doing dB tests on their car, my friend told me to hold onto the meter until our schedules line up better. Sooo...I have it a little while longer. Send me a PM if you want to try and get together...my best days to do the tests are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday...all after 4PM, but Sunday can probably work, too. Sunday will also have the least amount of traffic on the road if we do it around noonish... The only other thing to take into consideration is wind. The wind was a pain in the butt.

While exhaust noise levels and the tint of your front 3 windows can cause you to be in violation of law, these things aren't normally checked during inspection. From what I've been told it's mostly because inspection stations don't want to pay for light and noise meters. So, it's almost never checked.
