Default decibel readings

Does anyone have decibel readings for each catback with LTs and catted Y, I am sure now set on buying some ARH's with a catted Y, but not sure which catback to get. There is a harsh noise restriction in Pitt Meadows for autoxing cars, which is 95 db.

So I would like to know if anyone has decibel readings for ARH LTs with a catted Y and the following catbacks:
-Magnaflow
-GMMG
-TSP rumbler
-Borla adjustable
-And any other catbacks that have good flow.

There is a list, maybe located in a sticky, that has decibel readings for like the top 15 catbacks. You have to search around for it.

There is a list around but my old Random Tech catback was 90db on startup cold and the stainless works catback I have now tested at 102db on cold startup. 3-1/2" exhaust. No cats, H/C/I.
