Wow...88db seems very low!? Love how people move near a racetrack and then form petitions to essentially shut them down.

88db is indeed very low! It's measured trackside at 50 ft, which seems pretty standard from what I know. Lime Rock is the most restrictive track in terms of sound that I know of. Some cars stock out of the box have a hard time making sound! I' currently building a muffler for an older 911 race car (and likely some intake muffling as well), and it's not trivial.

As for people moving into the neighborhood and not liking the track, this is why Bridgehampton closed years ago. Maybe others too.

i will probably bring my race boxster that has catless headers and 2in straight pipes and i think i will be fine since its a boxster. Turn down will be in hand in case
I'm surprised by that Seb. My old Pawxster which had Fabspeed headers, no cats, and the Fabspeed 'street' muffler got black flagged for sound at LRP. I was shocked as that car was fairly 'quiet.'

I have the Fabspeed race exhaust and did not pass in my Cayman at LRP earlier this year. There was not a lot of foliage on the trees yet and I believe that plays a role.

Ugh.... so the uncertainty continues... I've no idea whether 92 dB would be enough if you guys failed 88 dB at LRP.

FWIW, Fabspeed race exhaust goes well over 100 dB when measured close by (105 or 110 dB IIRC). I've seen a video and I'd guess that the person was approx. 30 feet away...

Making sound at tracks like LRP and Mont Tremblant is a pain! Note that 92 db is quite a bit louder than 88 db. Your best bet is to have some turndowns that you can point in either direction depending on from which side of the track they are testing, and maybe even an add-on silencer like a Supertrapp tip in case the turndown isn't enough. It will reduce your chances of being sidelined early on in the event.
