at what rpm and what distance  ? I presume thats DB(a)

95Db at idle at 4.5 metres is a REALLY loud exhaust  102Db at 6500 at 0.5 metres is a fairly quiet exhaust

more info required :)

in that case i would say that 95 Db(a) at 3500 at 1 metre is fairly quiet for a modified car but 102 Db(a) is getting on for being annoyingly loud and probably too loud for some of the quieter trackdays.

Both levels are loud enough to not allow you on track/airfield days. Depending on location. :(

Plus you will get plenty of attention from the local bacon, sorry Police.
