SCCA SOLO question

[99SI]

^^^That (dB) was my biggest concern when I read it on the website. My exhaust is pretty loud, especially when I'm up in the 9K-9500 rpm range. I have a Header back 2.5 exhaust with a magnaflow straight through resonator and muffler. I was going to see if maybe there were any tricks to getting by the dirty dB meter! I really don't think that I will be under 95db. I haven't had any problems with getting pulled over for it but I think that is more to do with luck than anything. My cell number is 478-288-0266 if you feel like giving me a buzz and letting me know what I can do other than putting a stock type exhaust on. I do not have a harness, cg lock, or aftermarket seats. I really want to do some seats but I'm not a small fella and I don't fit in most of them. I am 6'3" and 240lbs. I'll just have to brace my legs against the door. I ran the road they did the SCCA Crow Mountain Hill Climb at, my girlfriend and I worked the event. I ran it pretty much full out and the moving around in an unsupportive seat was the toughest part of the whole thing. Thanks a bunch for all your help.

how often do you think you'll be revving 9k rpm on an auto-x course? it'll be really hard to keep the revs that high with as tight as the courses tend to be. the easiest method i've seen for keeping the sound levels happier is to run a turn down straight down at the ground (like most of the IT classed RX7's do).

as for the seat, i'm 6' ~220. i use a sparco speed and it was a little tight at first. a little work with a bottle jack and a couple blocks of wood between the side rails and i drop into it like a glove (i could get into it at first but it was horribly tight, but i gained about .5" by tweaking it and it made a world of difference). a good seat will improve your driving greatly so i'd recommend looking into it. there's a lot to do to get around the course fast and if you're bracing yourself you'll lose a ton of time.
