Yeah, that would have been good to do, for the purposes of evaluation.
But, no. :<( It wasn't until after we were done that my friend casually
mentioned he had a DB meter in his toolbox.
D'oh!
Oh well, I'll just fall back on the old Total Quality Management dictum:
"Never measure anything you can't change, or won't use to make a decision".
I was already committed to freeing up the horsepower, and I was going to
endeavor to make the muffler as quiet as I could, knowing that it might still wind
up a bit louder than before. But now I do wish I had before-and-after sound
numbers....
