Default Fitted the Sharkwerks race pipe today.

As title it lasted three miles before I decided to take it off again. It sounds amazing but in all honesty just too much for myself. I have young kids and trying to sneak out for a drive would be impossible

Just going to go back to the Sharkwerks Bypass and unplug the valves for the moment

I have to disagree with you both......I LOVE the track exhaust!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But..........no way you're getting away or arriving anywhere quietly.

If it could pass noise testing at the tracks I would never take it off. Now I'm running OEM center exhaust with side mufflere delete pipes, nice alternative and should (hopefully) just pass noise limits at the tracks.

would love to know if that would pass 92db sound. Side Deletes is a good step or two louder than just unplugging.

the cats muffle a bit too.

I'm overseas, sorry about that. Local tracks here measure static noise at 4500rpm. Limit it usually 100dB at 0,5m, with some slack for rear-engine cars.

I listened to EVERY video I could find but I'm sorry you don't get a real idea of it until you hear it in real life
