FYI, i know the epa claims the test for the noise test is 2000rpm from 2metres away, but apparently the requirements differ for different models etc:
3650rpm, 500mm at a 45degree angle, limit 90decibels. I went from a 2.5 straight through exhaust apart from the single large muffler with a set of pacemaker extractors (which i was defected with) to an xr6 exhaust manifold, 2 1/4 inch exhaust, the little muffler, the bigger one and a straight through tail pipe (standard) which gave me 85decibels at the above specifications. Over loud exhausts, kinda

I believe the test RPM for falcon's in VIC in the early E series is 3375 rpm, and the probe should be a certain distance from the exhaust tip, i can't remember how much. You can find the test rpm & noise limits on the EPA site somewhere, i've seen it before.
I had my pacemakers, commodore 2.5" cat, one straight thru 2.5" muffler & i got an invite to an exhaust shop for a test, where it was found i was way above the legal limit of 90db. I had a redback 2.5" resonator & rear pipe from the muffler over the diff fit & i'm just under the legal limit now. My idle noise is a lot quieter, which sucks but it still makes a lot of nice falcon 6cyl exhaust noise @ 5000 rpm, lol. Cheers ToranaGuy

when i had my ed 6 cyl engineered it was 3200rpm @45 deg angle at 1 meter..
first test was 94db with extractors 3" cat, 3"system with centre mufler and resinator.. to get it to 90 db i needed to fit a hot dog mufler aswell.. |

lol im gonna be f**k if i get asked to do a noise test...
i have a tractor manifold at the moment but my cat is hollow (fell apart, not bashed out), my centre muffler has pretty much no sound deadening left in it and i have no rear resinator... lol

I thought it was supposed to be around where peak torque is?

i got done on christmas day last year for an epa test ! ive just got herrod extracters and a 2.5" redback cat back, i had a flange put in just before the diff and a standard 2.1/4" section put in to quieten it down, which it did for me to pass by 1db
 then next day i had the old section put back in still got the standard section sitting in my garage at home, just in case it happens again !

Linkie to the EPA document on the noise limits of car's & test rpm's.
http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/Publications.nsf/2f1c2625731746aa4a256ce90001cbb5/e9a3b54956ac6b18ca256d16007b66e8/$FILE/317.1.pdf This is the current document the EPA have published, ford stuff is down on page 31 of the PDF for the EB, ED & So on falcons. It's an interesting read. Cheers ToranaGuy
