I never cracked 25 mph my car is just loud. I see the autox crowd is one I want to be around. Rust **** boxes all around but my modifications aren't accepted

The guy said if I come back be prepared to apologize for my actions?

Yesterday there was a HR 350Z with PPE headers and a tomei Y-pipe back, he was so loud he was told put in the silencer or leave. The silencer still was not enough. His first run when I was corner working it hurt my ears to the point where I was slightly angry because this was a new parking lot and I knew if someone was going to ruin it for everyone it was going to be him.

that sucks. even if I put my mufflers back on it's still probably going to be too loud for all the old guys I saw standing around.

I'm not going to revert my car to stock and reduce my cars performance to appease a small population of a group. I just want to expand my driving resume' by trying something new. oh well, we will see what happens in 2 weeks lol

That car is driven by a current National Champion, etc...and probably not as loud as my car, which is under National SCCA levels. If the event was at Devens, I could understand since they have a super low on site db rating. If not Devens, put in ear plugs and suck it, buttercup.

Hey FPenis. Most tracks that do trackdays have a limit too. 95 to 100dB's. If you want to have fun. You may have to put a butt plug in your exhaust. Sorry.

Never had a db meter to test my car so who knows what it's at sound wise.
