95 db

[Raux]

ok looked up the reg for the military overseas in europe and they say i have to be max 95 db. i'm sure stock exhausts are but what about slipons?

people with slipons/termis can you get or have you gotten db ratings?

[mmakay]

Termis with the baffles in place should be fine.  Then, when you get back just pop'em out. 

[Raux]

cool that's what i was thinking, but was hoping someone would have numbers to avoid spending $$$ and then can't have em on.

I'm not realy sure about that. Depends on other things as well; type of engine, open airbox .... (the 95db is for the bike in general, not only the exhaust) The only way of really being sureis  to measure it at 4000rpm at 1m distance.

Which country are you going to? Germany is pretty strict on the 95 db, other countries like Belgium isn't.

[Raux]

germany.

oh that's the test. 4000 rpm at 1 m
crap don't think stock it passes. i know it does but that's loud.

Most Termis with db-killers are homologated for Europe, it is always mentioned in our accessories catalogue and on Ducati.com.
If you know the part # of your exhaust I can check the catalogue (if they are EU specific or you don't have it)

Midpipes/open airbox will probably ruin your chances to be legit.

 - and at an angle, no?

well the only ones in the catelogue are the Ti that say homologated. that's 1600 dollars.
i was hoping someone could check the leo vince, arrows or other pipes in the 700 range. although the SS termis are in that range they say race only but do have db killers???

[stopintime]

Bike and model year?

[Raux]

sorry 2009 696

[stopintime]

OK, in that case I can't tell you anything other than what you already have seen on Ducati.com

I would think you're not going to get in trouble with the noise from any aftermarket exhaust, provided they have the db killers.

There is no inspection of bikes in Europe and IF you get pulled over you'll probably not get in trouble. Some people carry the db killers and can put them in if so ordered.

[Raux]

cool thanks. was wondering about the inspections.

i think that's going to be my christmas present.

I ran open Arrows for 2 years in Italy with rides to Germany and Austria and never got hassled.  I also would run a gear high in towns to keep the RPMs down a bit...

I am from Germany and the inspections here are pretty strict. Every TUV ( where you have to do the inspections ) check your bike and if it is over 95db you are not allowed to ride it in Germany. The cops can measure your db  and if the bike is to loud you have to pay a fine.

larsson77,

Is a fine all you get these days. I read somewhere that they aren't allowed to impoound/lock down your bike anymore. Is that correct? What happens when you get cought without db-killers and you don't have them with you? Do you still get to ride home?
