I do visit Limerock, the Glen and Circuit Mont Tremblant for track days during the summer and don't want to run afoul of their sound limits. Based on your post and some of the others, it sounds (pardon) like the bypass doesn't increase the decibels too much? Michael
At Lime Rock w/ a cat bypass, you will need stock mufflers. There is no generally available aftermarket or modified stock muffler that will pass sound.

Some guys do have welded up exhausts that consist of multiple inline mufflers that they get to pass after lots of experimentation

Do you find the sport cats lower the sound that much? I'd be curious since it's so easy to swap if you or someone knew the actual dB sound delta between the sport cats and the catless Xpipe. Did you ever upload a video?

Thanks
I never remove the sport cars....I have had cat bypass pipes with Motorsound mufflers...no way they can pass 92 dB. The sport cats do keep the sound down...never did do the video. Alex at Fabspeed can provide a video clip for you.
