They have expressed interest in selling the units themselves, so I'm hopeful to work something out with them. Ed's been using a prototype for a while, and I've been working to refine the design to make it as Ed-proof as possible based on his experiences. This design allows the unit to be programmed for any track in the world (just press the button at the center of your desired quiet zone, and then turn the **** to how big you want the quiet zone to be). Once programmed, it will retain those coordinates until it's reprogrammed. It also has a "home track" mode with hard-coded coordinates for any one track (part of the Ed-proofing...). It also has a "stock" setting where the car works just like the unit were not installed, along with a "loud" mode where the exhaust flap is always open. I'll post a new thread in the coming week or two with more details...so stay tuned...
Awesome, looking forward to the thread. Might I suggest replacing the S / M / L / XL with actual feet or meters of radius...

Mango should pass 92 dB with GPS switch, 90 dB if downturns added. At least that makes the 991 GT3 pass. Unless you modified the exhaust...

I think there may be some Cayman Clubsports at Laguna this weekend?? If anyone has any creative ways to make sound at Laguna (electronic, mechanical, exhaust) or at Sonoma (95db), I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thanks. Chris.
