Where to exhaust DB level check in the BAY

Hey just kinda a pre emptive so I can have it in my glove box when/if I get stopped for my exhaust.

Where can I get the DB level measured in the bay area? I know a few of you have had to do this and I was wondering where you had it done.

Thanks for the help.

wow back from the dead..... I have actually perfected the jedi mind trick on cops that pull me over. A quick wave of the hand and a soft "You are not going to site me" seems to work. Dont try this yourself until you can get it to work on your girlfriend/wife for sexual favors.......

I'll let you know of the decibel readings on this exhaust without a citation from the state ref.

It does thank you. I have a helix catted dp and im going to a 20G so hopefully it will be around the same. I just dont want to get reffed as I have cams so the more inconspicuous the better.

Radioshack has Db meters. I have one. If you get one set the weighting to C and speed to slow.
