trying to figure out how much louder than stock the new bikeman exhaust is. dale says low to mid 90's on his system, what is the stock level?

I have a DB meter and will be happy to check for you...unfortunately I'm not going to my cabin (where the ranger is until next weekend). If you don't have an answer by then I'll measure it for you.

Checked this weekend...77db (20" away from exhaust at 45 degree angle). 71db in drivers seat. Both measurements at idle.

That is considerably louder than stock.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the ranger is...for comparison the rhino I had was 85db and a diesel mule is 83db, both at idle. All of the aftermarket pipes that I heard of are in the 90+db range (with some considerabily higher)...I guess that's the price you pay for performance.

thanks guys, dale told me his measurement was taken at about 3500 rpm, not idle.
