Hi All,
I am thinking of making this my first track day, after realising i have no idea where the limits of my car are!
I'm a little concerned about the noise limit though. The sports exhaust on my 996 C4S is
not switchable, so i would not be able to turn it off. Does anybody have any experience of this, or know if the SE is below 101db?
Thanks,
H
sports exhaust is about 99-101db on the 996 I think (?)
although 'normally' allow an extra 1db for 911's for the static test due to the nature of the 911 design i.e. engine & exhaust at the same end
not seen too many 996's fail the noise test, such exhausts are less like those on 964's et al...
if you are concerned then a trip to a local garage could be needed to test out the noise, but if you do fail and they let you on them you need to be sensible and limit your rpm on track
I have a sports exhaust on mine and I've never had a problem noise testing even though I have been in the 99-101db range....
