Does anyone have any info regarding what people are getting as noise readings for the 1100 clubsport?

Cheers

Struggles to get under 105db, and only then by being economical with the truth about what the lights on the dash mean. I fitted a "Supertrap" on the exhaust, it helps but still would not legally pass the noise test at some venues.

There is a lot of info here on previous posts on this subject. IMHO if you are using the car for track days you need to avoid the tracks that demand less than 105db. You might get through a static test if you have a good silencer (and you lie about the rev lights) but on track if driven in anger the overall noise of the car will get you chucked off track.

I have the extra quiet silencer installed and i have had absolutly now problem last weekend.
A Porsche GT3 CUP and even a Clip Cup car are a lot louder.

What track were you at and do you know what the noise limit was?

I´ve been to hockenheim. The noise limit is 104db measured at driveby with an automated system.
If your car is to loud they give you the black flag.

I've been pulled up at Donington on drive by and the circuit is at the end of East midland airport!! I have also had problems at Goodwood and Oulton Park. Bedford is another circuit that it very strict on noise. IMO if you want to use all of the revs available to you it is very difficult if not impossible stay within the levels that some circuits require.
