dB Killer do they work?
« on: December 19, 2008, 08:32:07 PM »

Hi all after the previous thread brought up noise limits at Castle coombe, I  thought what about a dB killer! Having no experience of the said item's, i wondered what the general sensus of opinion was?

So a full micron serpent system on an 05 10 (power commander) would it pass at Coombe with a dB killer?
Also does it upset the fueling making it horrible to ride so not really worth doing?       :dontknow:

A decibel killer does reduce the noise output but you'd need to get it tested to know how much, also it shouldn't upset yer fuelling too much mate.

Good luck, Budda.
