Default Laguna 92bd limit and Fabspeed

Does anyone have actual sound level readings from Laguna for an early 996 (3.4) with Fabspeed exhuast (headers, mufflers and cat bypass)?

Sorry no sound readings. But I run the same setup as you and imho with the cat bypass pipes on the car is significantly louder under WOT. You can do what everyone else does at Laguna and lift where the sound meter is on the uphill straight between turn 5 and 6 (normally). But seriously why drive all the way there and risk getting black flagged and your weekend ruined. Just pop your cat's back on and you should be safe.

Why is there a sound limit at a race track?

Neighbors who built their homes too close to the track AFTER the track was there had more clout than the track's owners and participants...

I would just slap the stock cans back on to be safe... better to spend a few hours doing that ahead of time then have your weekend ruined...
