Nope.
Cats came in at K /92.
And surely you've noticed the lack of cat under the car?

Re: does my car need a cat if its 20 year old ?
yes there is a limit, its around 95-100dB IIRC, I think its the same as nightclubs randomly, which is 96dB, or use to be anyway.spacemonkey wrote:ritchie wrote:Ahaha oops no av not been under my car yet.
