Reply to "Looking For Feedback: My First Beck Build"

@americanworkmule: Loud exhaust is an issue for me as I don't want the neighbors to feel that I am competing with the motorcycle owner on the next block. Swapping out the Trimil exhaust my speedster came with was the first change I made after my (2017 VS build) speedster was delivered. I was able to informally document the lower volume using the fact that a sound meter app can be added to any phone now. I'd be interested in evidence about whether the results are repeatable from car to car and from phone to phone if there were agreement about test protocol e.g.

  • phone/meter held at 10 feet from exhaust outlet(s) and at outlet level
  • separate 5 second measurements at idle and at 3000 rpm
  • test outdoors and away from vertical surfaces

I should have thought to capture some samples in the Courtyard paddock at Carlisle.
