I know USAREUR has a rule of 92 or 94db for exhaust. Wondering if anyone has ever seen it really enforced or have had any issues pertaining to it. Also any info on an inspection station that kind of looks the other way. Appreciate the info in advance, bringin the bob over and I have short shots on it kind of worried.

You could mount stock muflers from a friends bike and present your bike to the inspection...

If I fail I will figure something out, been waiting to long to get the back over here not to. Wish it was like in the states, my car always failed inspection for an extra 20-40 it always passed.

I don't know about Baumholder, but all inspections I have had done on the base/post were conducted by German nationals, undoubtedly contracted for their expertise in automotive laws/regulations. They were strict, especially underneath the car with their little pickhammers in hand.

You're likely gonna need baffles on judgement day.

Send 07FXDB43125 a PM and ask him what the db out-put is on his V&H Short Shots.
He has 'quite' baffles installed & had them tested at the AMA, but I forget what db rateing he said they were.
Could be the way to go for you.
