How loud is my car likely to be???

My Exige S came with a Larini exhaust already fitted.
As far as I can make out from the reciept, it has one of these fitted:

I have no idea if the cat has been removed but as the paperwork doesn’t mention this, I’ll assume its intact and original.

The car also had an ITG inlet, Forge intercooler and had been worked on my Essex Autosport in the past. (it has a Gotham remap)

I’ve got my first (in the Exige) trackday booked for the end of Sept. I’ve signed up for a 105dB event.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to how loud my car will be?

at a guess 103db

what do I win if I’m right?

…a large helping of kudos! :slight_smile:

my 240s had a lotus stage 3 which was really loud, was 98.8 static at oulton i think and no probs with the 92dB driveby,

I’d guess you’d be fine aswell, i reckon 100dB static

That sounds good.
My Larini is not what I’d call overly loud when driving around day to day, it just has a distinctive note whick changes into a howl when the revs increase.

Fingers crossed it will be fine!

actually looking at that link the box is quite a bit bigger than the larini I had on my elise, so yeah you’ll be fine.

I am assuming that’s what I have fitted. The receipt just says “supply and fit Larini sports exhaust”

As soon as I get hold of a jack that will actually fit under my car, I’ll whip the covers off and take a look to see exactly whats fitted.
