Was this for Solo 2?
I thought that all regions had to run mufflers as defined by the
rulebook (too lazy to pull it out and look).
Locally we have a club owned decibel meter, and have set a local limit
at 93db. This is as measured at the loudest part of the course - usually
the start.
We have asked people to modify their exhaust system to meet this
standard. Those who do not, or cannot, are sent on their way with
regrets, but invited back upon resolution of the problem.
Don't other areas have specific noise limits?
Personally, I would not go anywhere with my car louder than 93db (it is
actually much less than that via Mufflow or similar). Anyone who does is
asking for trouble, and I suggest irresponsible.

No, not suggesting yet another page in the voluminous rule book
