101db I've heard. However, I might ask someone to measure mine just for informational purposes tomorrow at the track day

TBH I think you will have problems at most venues with Janspeed, mongoose is a better bet. I'm lucky that anglesey has a 105db limit :shock:

That reminds me, I've got to go! \:D/

I did a track day at Donington with my NA and that had a Janspeed on it. But I have heard that some circuits have stricter levels.

dont think you will be able to run on most tracks with a janspeed.I had one a couple of years back and got rid of it. Lauren is the girl to tell you for sure.

You can go to the circuit and get a static noise test which ought to give you at least some indication of how loud your car is. Donington operate a driveby noise limit of 98db so you can't really tell until you are out on track. Janspeed is noisy though, wouldn't surprise me if you had problems.

If you are really worried, bookatrack.com rent out noise meters. Have a look at their website for details.
