too loud for a track? i mean my car with a magnaflow exhaust is so quite to me it sounds stock and i have longtubes and ory, so I call the track BS because too loud for a track seems to me you probably beat the owners honda at the track and got mad and kicked you out "just speculation"
Plenty of tracks/events are measuring exhaust noise with decibel meters these days & the allowable noise level is pretty restrictive. Too loud & you can't run.
I've got the oldest drag strip in continuous operation in the US not very far from me and people in the adjacent county across the river have sued and successfully had the track operations restrained.

Some of you guys...reading comprehension is not your best suit. Several rr tracks have noise restrictions and quite truthfully my car is on the loud end of things. The week prior to the race they allowed anyone interested to go see if they qualify. The noise meter is located halfway down one of the straights.
There was only a handful of us that we're too loud, including an open Shelby. I'd give up 5hp to run that track on a regular basis.
Track owners don't dictate the rules as much as their neighbors that move in years after the fact.
Thanks to those who addressed the question. To those who just threw out speculation and whining....not so much.

This track has actually been closed for years from what I understand due to financial issues and is just reopening with the idea to try and give it a go. One of the requirements was to limit the noise.
Anyone that runs shorter tracks at 1.5 miles or less loves to run a longer one like this at slightly over 2.5 miles.
Thx for the suggestions guys! For the guy with the slp muff, what kind of price shipped to 85226?

this is another reason why i love my factory exhaust with the e-cutout. Completely quiet when i want it to be, and varying degrees of loud when i want that! plus it out flows that magnaflow, or any other muffler for that matter, all day long
I've got long tubes and an off road Y-pipe infront of it, so its pretty damn loud when i open it up

What this guy said... Dual/Dual muffler for the win. I swapped to it from a Magnaflow and had no loss of power, AND it quieted the car down. Was exactly what I wanted and then some. If you're still too loud after this... well then you're going to have to start putting resonators into the I-Pipe.
Good luck.
Good luck.
