Default GT3/GT3 RS exhaust db options at Lime Rock Park

With the db limit coming down what seems like every year I wanted to get a feel for what others are running at LRP with PCA or SCDA etc.

Sport mode on with stock exhaust acceptable?
Sharky center muffler bypass acceptable only in normal mode or with sport mode on?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I've done two DE days at LRP with stock exhaust in sport mode with no issues.

I was thinking about doing the carnewal remote switch with a sharky bypass but I think the best option for me is a side muffler bypass and removal of the flaps.

Costs less, loses more weight, and more importantly loses more heat from the engine/exhaust and is quieter than sport mode with the bypass. I know it won't sound as good, but I doubt I can use the center bypass with sport mode on at Lime Rock and pass the sound check where I am pretty sure I can if others are passing sound check with sport mode on with the stock exhaust as the db should be about the same.

Sharkwerks bypass in sport mode = black flag at LRP. I can get by in non-sport mode if I short-shift into 5th on the front straight and by heel/toe is super smooth into Big Bend. Otherwise, trouble from the man with the sound meter.
