do you have possibility to close exhaust or it is always straight?
how this affect on your health?
i know some machine workers(worked in different metal factories ) which have problems with ears now because of noise and they did not wear earprotection
all our trucks with open exhaust can be also quite because in austria you must be quite, they even can fine you if they see you have bypass
is it worst than here?

Dont know if anyones heard but Pittsburg power has figured out how to deacert the c15's Bruce says they are the best motor you can get and they are Detroit fans. Thats right the experts say Cat.

People have been doing that with help from tuning companies for the last few years. It's not something new.

This environmental crap is ruining engines -
I refuse to use the jake brake on the truck, because it will actually make my ears hurt if I use it for more than 20 seconds or longer. I changed the pipes to raise them higher above the cab to get the noise as far away from me as I could. Unfortunately this didn't help. I have run a small resonator under the truck in the past, but this doesn't help either. When you start building big Hp numbers the exhaust noise gets obnoxious with a CAT
Running straight pipes is illegal here, but I've never been given a ticket for it.
Is it as loud as the video you posted? Probably, but the CAT has a high pitch to its rap, so I think its more obnoxious at the same decibel level.Scania man Thanks this. -

Earplugs, gentlemen, earplugs. I always wear them unless I need the noise to stay awake.
Been wearing them since I got my class A license and drove a one stack Mack with a window in the back.DrtyDiesel and Scania man Thank this. -
Holy crap what sacrifices people do for a straight pipe. Tested the r580 v8 I drove in a tunnel and according to the phone it was 97db in the cab (7% so your on full throttle the hole way, 3km)
I take 50-60hp less and a silence over a straight pipeScania man Thanks this.
