Db rating on stock pipe

[Hotshoe18]

Does anyone have a Db reating on the stock pipe? I'm looking to go aftermarket and just dont want to go too loud... Gotta keep the neighbors happy :D

the neighbors wont be happy unless youre creeping through, my whole other half of the street hates me

Yea, I havent exactly made friends either even though I ride on our 14 acres and the nearest house is about 100 yards away...

I guess nobody knows... Does anyone know a good exhaust system that is about the same loundess wise as stock but still gives a healthy power gain? I saw the FMF Q series muffler or whatever its called and thought it might be a good pick. Any thoughts? Thanks

i like my exhaust loud. the bad think about the quiet exhaust is not to many people have them so its a game, a pricey one at that. i would pick a brand that you like and trust, and just go for it. good luck

Here is a link to a Dirt Wheels Exhaust Shootout from 2003 that was done on the Z400. I know the data is old, but it might help to answer your question about the db level of the stocker.
