Title: Gti edition 30 noise levels
Post by: GtiJames on 06 August 2008, 16:21

HI everyone,

I have booked a track day at Goodwood on 23rd of this month, and they have a noise level limit of 95dcb which they check on the day and if your too noisy then you might not be able to do it, they check it at the back of exhaust at 3/4 power.

Any idea on what a edition 30 with full milltek (resonated) will produce in decibels? or anyone been there for a track day any reviews?

thanks

I don't know what it is but I would imagine you would be ok.  I did a trackday at Castle Combe in my old R32 with unresonated Milltek and it was 98db (limit was 100db!) and the Edition 30 is nowhere as near as loud as the R32 (to the ear anyway).

I have a full Milltek (resonated) and it is nowhere near 95db - even at full throttle it will not be 95db.

I think that limit is just inforced for Vauxhalls and Fords with baked bean can exhausts :grin:

Yes, if it keeps the vermin and chavs away with their silly little Corsa's etc, then it can only be a good thing.
