Sound limit

Thinking about either the Gundo or Fister hack. But I am wondering if anyone with any of these hacks every ran into issues on race tracks with sound limits. Laguna-Seca usually has 92 dB

The Fister/Gundo is not that loud at all.....just slightly louder than stock. I don't think you'll have any issues.

Welcome to California!

For Laguna-Seca: The track exists since the fifties and was built into the middle of (beautiful) nowehere. Long time later people started to build nice homes in the vicinity, well knowing that there's a racetrack nearby. Then they sued the track for the noise (yeah, don't get me started). Result: L-S has now 4 days a year with no sound limit, which of course are reserved for major events.
The only track I know in my neck of the woods with no sound limit at all is Buttonwillow, which is (you guessed it) in the middle of (not-so-beautiful) nowhere.

^^^ Technically Thunderhill & Infineon have a 105db limit. I have never been meatballed for sound at Infineon. But if you can believe it, I have at Thunderhill which is truly in the middle of nowhere!!!!!

So I picked up a Tubi exhaust for a good price (only the side cans, not the the center bypass) and wouldn't you believe it, I got meatballed in Laguna Seca yesterday
95 dB on a 92 dB day.
But short-shifting before the sound station took care of it (but didn't have such a good effect on my laptimes ;-)
Nevertheless the sound of the Tubi under WOT at full RPM is amazing, sounds truly like a Cup car.

As many others have noted, the fister/ gundo is not loud at all. It was almost close to stock to me, I ended up getting a Sharkwerks bypass on top of my fister. I've been told the sound now is close to the PSE and to me it's just right with and not too loud even above 4000 RPM.

Saw that you are in the Bay Area, let me know if you are around the Santa Clara area and I can let you listen to decide for yourself.

We have a regional airport here (MacArthur in Islip, NY). When it was built, there was NOTHING in the area for miles. As time passed, people built houses closer and closer to the airport. Sure enough they didn't like the noise and they have sued repeatedly.
