Has anyone with a standard exhaust had any issues at UK tracks? Anyone know off hand what decibel rating I should expect to get from the standard exhaust.

The car i'm buying needs a new back box so that should help keep the noise level down as the packing will all still be perfect in there.

Thanks in advance

you should have no problems. CSL is pretty quiet on exhaust noise (87 db? maybe).

quiet enough for bedford anyway.

Although CSLs sound quite noisy on drive by at full throttle/revs, I have never heard of a std one being blackflagged on a circuit. Clearly the static is easy as all the noise is at the front, but the 'noise-guardian' will be standing at the back! I haven't heard of a non-std one being 'done' either, to think of it.
