Question on aftermarket exhaust sound levels

I've been enjoying going to HPDE track events and Laguna Seca is one of my favorites. For some of these HPDE track events at Laguna, there a sound limit of 92db with the listening station usually between turns 5-6 or 6-7 (where you'd usually go full throttle uphill). Will the popular aftermarket exhausts for our cars stay within this limit? I understand that on a cool foggy day, stock Z06s and GT3s can be right at this limit (if not slightly over). Any thoughts?

Contact 80shilling on this forum. I believe he used our 2.5 "quiet" X-Flow on his GT2 at Laguna Seca and it was at or near the limit - and it's a quiet exhaust by aftermarket exhaust standards.

I passed every time with my Milltek Sport and could also pass CA Smog. Flows great and not too aggressive. I now have stock exhaust back on and can feel the restriction.
