Default Thunderhill, NorCal DE crew question

Quick question regarding sound limitations. I'd like to run the GGR event mid July. My 11' RS has the GMG headers 200cel cats, GMG center section, and I still have the stock side mufflers. Real simple will I pass sound or do I need some sort of Laguna Pipe setup.

Thanks,

never heard your car, but it's 103 db limit. usually cup cars pass with no problem. so use that as ref.

Also, GMG center bypass is louder than a 2010 997 CUP.

Best to bring some diversion pipes just in case you need to point tailpipes to the left. My cup has Akrapovic headers 100 cell cats (loud) no side mufflers with center Akrapovic center muffler and pass 103 db

Thanks everyone for the comments! Sounds like some diversion pipes are in the cards.
