Default Track day noise levels

Hi all - I'm doing the Evo trackday at Brands on 29 June - just seen there's a 105db noise level. I've got an MY99 UK classic turbo with scoobysport centre & scoobysport backbox, plus K&N panel filter - otherwise it's standard. Anyone with a similar setup know how loud their cars are in measured terms? Reckon mine should be ok but it'd be nice to be 100% sure. Thanks - Dan.

I'd say you should be safe by a long way with around 96-98 dbl

I done a 98dB track day at Donington with my MY00 classic with magnex system on and green panel filter. Had no problems even though was the noisiest car, even more so than a few skylines and a Graham Goode prepared Escort Cosworth

Brands tend to get more upset with tyre squeel than exhaust

My mate with an 600BHP RS4 got asked to stop as they thought his exhaust was too loud. Mind you, Whales on the West Coast of America can hear his car !
