So they just measure 20" away at idle?
The only time my Akra is somewhat loud is around 1,800-2,200 RPM.

As for Laguna Seca, remember, different events have different sound limits. The 92dB days are pretty much stock exhaust only.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
