For historical purposes - exhaust was blowing, now fixed.
Quote from dougie-lampkin :The exhaust noise limit here is stupidly high, 99dB, and it isn't even tested as part of the annual NCT (not yet at least). 90dB is the level emitted from a lawnmower, and that leaves you deafened after mowing for an hour. 99dB is twice as loud as that.

My Dad had the central silencer removed from his old Chimaera, had it tested at a track day one time, was 109dB at three quarters revs. Was like heaven in tunnels. Why go to Le Mans when you can bring it to your garage? Damn I want one now.
I also have a problem with my car which I can't fix

I don't know but why does the wheels rotate clockwise when I'm driving my car?

Just to bully Jakg with his threads

Look on the right side of the car. Wheels will start rotating clockwise then
My SV650 has a full race exhaust. It's pretty loud.

My sister's boyfriend (at the time) tried to replace the muffler on her '90 Honda CRX. He got it off and couldn't put the new one on. Somehow I got stuck driving it to the muffler shop, sans muffler. 15 miles away. Most embarrassing drive ever.

Just to the muffler shop? That all?

I wasn't driving at the time but was a kid in the back seat of an 83 Ford Escort heading down the highway on the way to vacation at the beach. Heard a thud and a clank and a scrape. Dad pulled over and we watched him kicking at the back of the car. Muffler rusted off. We proceeded to drive for about 100 miles down the interstate before we could find a muffler shop to get a new one put on. Sitting in the back of an 83 Ford Escort, all 70 horses of it blowing straight out the pipe under our butts for 100 miles or so isn't much fun. I'll take my sister's boyfriend's Honda sans muffler from home to the shop any time over 100 miles down the interstate sitting in the back seat.
The car belonged to my sister. She was just too cheap to get it done right and her dumbass boyfriend screwed it up.
a friend managed to break off the exhaust on his golf right behind the exhaust manifold
he continued to drive around with it for about a month enjoying the now racecar sound from the mighty 75hp engine
