    Noise limit - How strict???

    Just noise tested the 200 and at 4k rpm I'm coming in at 100db,

    How strict are they at the ring guys?

    I was thinking about this as well, but I've heard its random tests so you might get lucky. When I tested mine before TOTB it was close to the limit but when they tested it, I was well under...

    Not strict at all.

    I was there last month, there was no one doing noise testing.

    I didn't see any noise tests being done last year, should think you will be fine as that can't be much louder than some of the bikes and exotics that were there.

    Same as above. Didn't see one car get tested for noise, they seem pretty laid back.

    If your that worried just creep to the toll and then cruise onto it.....then cane the shit out of it when you go over the brow of the hill

    There's no way on earth half the stuff going out last year was <95Db
    100 or so should be fine I'd have thought, mine probably doesn't even manage 95 with my sensible exhaust

    About this:
    3rd lap i was shouted back by an official. Flicked my exhaust valve pretty covertly.
    The official asked me to rev the car, he was looking like he was going to kick me of,
    thank god for the valve, took the cone chicane with a baffled Biker Joe next to me...

    After the chicane i flicked it back and he understood :P

    First 2 laps? Just turned up, valve full open, making all the noise it could: No-one even eyed me out... Must have been some random marshal who was not a fan of noise....
