Default need to quiet the car down

I have a 99 ss with SLP longtubes, cats and an ATR catback. I love the way it works and sounds. The problem is that I Autox and they have a 94db @50ft sound limit at on track and 90 db@75ft at the other. My car wants to run the smaller courses in 1st gear, but I pegged the sound meter at 97db@50ft. So I need to find a removable way to cut sound at these events.
I have seen the dynotech cone inserts for 60.00 that Slip in the tailpipes, or I can get a small clamp on supertrap to go on the end of the tailpipe for 90.00.
Has anyone tried the cones? do they work?

Weld a Dynomax bullet in into your "I" pipe. Should help out.

A bullet muffler is a straight through muffler. Putting it permanently in the I pipe will not hinder your exhaust's performance, will reduce rasp, and should help reduce your dB count. It's a common mod which may actually make your daily driving more enjoyable. Just tryin' to help ya out.

I actually run a quick change muffler/tailpipe setup..Corsa for the track and SLP dual/dual for the street.I just reuse the I-pipe.Takes 5 minutes to change out.
