You sure you've got a spec2? Spec 2 is literally the loudest exhaust your going to get on anything, ever....

Nurburgring static limit is 132db btw..

Lol yeah I'm sure. Good to know I could probably take it to the ring then ha. The spec2 sounds amazing on full throttle seriously intoxicating. Spoon n1 sounds strangled in comparison no offence to other users.
 
That 132 is on a trackday there, I've seen a big corvette get static tested on a public driving day at the ring.
It was pretty loud though
 
Even the spoon n1 is touch and go to get through a 105db test.
Last trackday at brands an eg had full spoon n1.
He blew 105.7db on the static test and was setting off the drive by meters.
He had to come in and fix the noise before he could get back out.
That's with two silencers in the exhaust, yours has a tiny little thing that's hardly even a silencer in the middle.
You can imagine how much louder it is...
 
You can do a custom silencer, we did this for a friend of mine with a 110 dBa exhaust on his rx7. It was basically smaller tail pipe bolted in his stupidly large diameter exhaust and it brought it back down to around 95dBa static.
Silverstone doesn't have a static noise test, only a drive by.

You can get track insurance from places like competition car insurance if you really want to be safe.

Will defo look into this thanks mate
 
I had a spec2, decatted etc... On my car for about 6-8month. Was fun for the first 2month, novelty soon wore off and it just got seriously annoying even on full throttle it wasn't nice, just too loud, had to be sure there was no police around for about 70miles before it was safe to give it some :lol:

Ended up selling it and going full custom exhaust as I actually wanted to use my car on track... Looking back on it now the spec2 sounded like a wet fart compared to a proper system :)

id be surprised if you get the same result as the above from yours.

Worst case you can sell me your track time and come as a passenger, atleast your still out on the track just in the wrong seat/car.
