Not at present. Ran a 42 at SMP today in very hot conditions so that will do for now.

Im over 100dB at Wakefield with Fabspeed race headers!
They do sound amazing but it is very loud and the exhaust button only helps for normal driving, put enough throttle in and the computer opens the exhaust.
This is on a Spyder which has Sports Chrono/Plus as standard. GT4 might be a bit different on the control but I’d imagine the sound and dB level would be almost the same.

I think the bars must have helped a bit; who really knows though. They are great cars for sure. Just need some more power now

I believe Oscar from the Forum here had the Dundon catless and got pinged at SMSP and had to revert...Best to stay away from catless it would seem for us.

yeah catless headers are too loud for SMP, unless you can baffle the muffler but who knows what other issues will arise from that like drone or whatever

impressive speed through turn 1 Warwick, I was watching it thinking ok brake....brake....WTF brake! you brake about 50 meters later then me in a lot of the corners

just be careful not using harry's lap timer video as reference point for your brake zones

there is a lag between recorded speed and actual car position in the video!

I have found that I barely drive the car in the suburbs and it is more a sunday morning/track car so would love a little more sound, but need something that works at SMSP and Wakefield, and both have the same dB restrictions so i'd rather keep it as is.

Thanks for letting me know mate.

Good going and a great lap Warwick..I better get my finger out as from Corp hill onwards that's where you made up the time on me. Thats from running our videos side by side from what I can see.

I'm still using 3rd coming out of last turn and can see that's costing me time also. I haven't been out since we were there at BMW challenge...I better get out there
