No cat Chris, but I agree, I have no idea how to quiet it down or what would have made it 10db louder with not changes in the system

I am running the following sound deadening devices; TURBO, Resonator, Full Cat-Back. The car really isn't loud (relatively) and I have no idea, besides perhaps catching a backfire because I was hitting revlimiter right at the meter. But absolutely nothing about the car has changed this year.

I actually didn't notice it - I was just going off the numbers collected in March and yesterday.

Everyone else's numbers make sense - I suspected you'd made an ill-advised mod to the exhaust...

We were definately catching people "harder on the throttle" yesterday than in March.

Your numbers yesterday were: 94.5, 95.5, 95.2

Your numbers from last event (most of which made sense, until the battery went away 3rd run group - you were 1st run group): 96.2, 93.1, 93.8, 95.7

If my numbers yesterday were for three runs, someone screwed up. I only ran twice.

And as for "harder on the throttle" I don't hold back. I let someone else drive my car last event and I don't remember it being loud enough to draw my attention in grid. VS hearing some of the other cars and thinking how loud they are. But numbers don't lie.

I see you only have two times in the results - you didn't have a rerun or something that had you come past sound three times?

Anyway, it's not a "violation" - just muffler encouragement...

No my car was shitting oil in first, so once we realized it was me I backed off the line and parked it.

Reviewing the notes I have - I don't easily see how that got screwed up.

We'll work together and keep an eye on it.

Yeah it may be a moot point in actuality I am considering selling the car as it is, the more I have to deal with persuades me more...

We set up course for a rain event and then they were there and then Harp wanted stiffer springs and helmets were being left in grid and all I remember was jiggle jiggle jiggle.....

I don't think that was your fastest run was it JY? Having a concentration issue?
