I have just purchased a 996 GT3RS for use on track. Does anyone know the sound level in db this car creates in a standard exhaust and engine state?

I don't know the actual values but I'm sute you will be fine if it has the standard system on there. It does get a bit tricky if you start putting the aftermarket systems on there, especially on the quiet days. It does seem that they are getting VERY strict in terms of noise, most simply won't let you out on track these days if you don't comply.

mine was 100db when last tested, but it's got the manthey k410 engine/exhaust kit so i assume it's a touch louder than standard.

enjoy.

Hi Edward,

I was going Exige (pending dropping in you!) but the RS just sauntered past me at a good price and I had to do it! I have you down for a Ruf GT2 drive sometime - keep in touch.

I've never had a problem although they may be a bit marginal on a goodwood quiet day.
