997.1 GT3 exhaust noise levels

[Trev450]

I'm giving some serious consideration to puchasing one of these at some point in either clubsport or RS form, and since it is to spend most of its time on track, I am very eager to know the noise levels the stock exhaust system emits.

Can anyone who has had experience of tracking one of these give me some idea of the db rating, and if you have been refused at any circuits, which ones, by how much over the limit where you, and what, if anything, did you do about it?

you need to stick to 105db track days, then you'll be ok. Standard car is 101-102 ish static at 75% revs.

That is quite loud. My old bike-engined single seater wasn't much more than that and that would rev to 13000 rpm.

Some good advice though - many thanks.

I'm guessing this one wouldn't get on any track day in the UK? Sounds right though !

Not quite on topic, but I thought it more interesting than the "how much has my car lost in the last half hour" threads?

Does sound good though.
