Anyone fancy a cheapie at Bedford in the New Year ?, it'll be my first time so I'll need treating gently and a short day might suit.

Help needed Chaps, noise limit is 101 dB(A) static & 87.5 dB(A) drive by. Doesn't state at what distance from the car, or from what area of the car the readings are taken. So could the Bedford trackday experienced among you give me a clue as to whether you think I'd pass or not, 450 supercharged no cats, Clive Ford Y piece otherwise standard exhaust & original silencer. I have a pair of ACT trackday silencers to fit on but have read that they may not be fully efficient due to supercharger (increased exhaust gas speed). Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yesterday measured static at 102.7 dBA @ 4000 rpm as is, has anyone any suggestions as to what reduction the ACT bolt on cans are likely to give ? Any help, as ever much appreciated.

Thank you all for your help and advice, I do have a pair of cans but I've yet to use them and they're currently out on loan but should be back soon, hence not taking them to test and asking for some feedback before booking as I don't want to wait & miss out. The consensus seems to suggest that I should get under the 101dB(A) limit so I'll look forward to breaking my trackday virginity in the New Year ! See you there chaps (sympathies to Anthony, never thought I'd feel sorry for an accountant (edited to add) P.S. Geoff thanks for the offer of the loan, I travel to a client at Newmarket fairly regularly so Anthony's kind offer does make sense.
