Has anybody removed their centre section and still passed the noise limits on trackdays?

I know the decibel levels vary but I want to do away with my centre box as it pretty much acts speed bump guard! It's pretty much fooked anyway

A life ban is a bit harsh! I'm running a stage 3 Saph with 3" exhaust system.

What exhaust? Certainly a scorpion without the centre box is properly loud

Could you run a bolt on external silencer? See them quite often at track days.

jdsjojo

Yeah running full 3" Scorpion with 4" tailpipe.

TBH with the small outlay incurred buy yourself a becibelmeter. Go to Maplins and get one quite cheap, Mount it on a 1metre pole and away you go - home test kit for about Ł60 and guarantees you won't get kicked on a track day. It's what I did.

Yeah that'll be extremely loud then

never heard of a life ban.

With no center box your car will be too loud for most tracks in the uk mate. better off keeping the centre box

We was told last yearly at Bedford when we did a track day there and I was chatting to Martin Hadland there when he bort his lambo down and he was thinking of taking it around the track and they told him face to face .
My mate did donnington about 3 weeks back it's 98Db there he hit 98.2 they asked him to have a look at it . We wot can you do so he backed off by the 3 sound meters they have so they had a chat with him again as they could tell wot he was doing so he went back out again pinged it . So that was the end of his day Ł260 down the drain .

if you trip the meter at bedford they kick you off for the rest of the day
