Track! Will you actually take this gorgeous car on a track day?

Would seem a logical option to have available, either a 97dB sports cat, or an additional exhaust box

Lotus already offer a track friendly silencer for the Evora/Exige 4XX cars. I imagine that they will offer the same for the Emira (eventually).

I know of a 911GT3 that is fitted with two external silencers connected to the individual tail pipes and attached to the rest bumper. Looks bloody awful but is the only way to pass trackday noise levels.

Anybody know the Db reading on the V6 Evora or Exige with 410 HP?

I am thinking they will be the closest sounds to the Emira.

Hoping to book some track days up before the rush but not sure which ones I have a chance of getting in.  Once I get the Emira I will do a sound check at a track but that is ages off.

These are usually measured at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet at 4500rpm with the meter held at a 45 degree angle.

My Evora 410 Sport is about 104-5dB on a static test and that is measured when the valve is open.  After a hot day of lapping at Castle Combe I asked the guys to re-do the static test and it had gone up to 112dB! This has limited my choice of locations and dates for track days but I have worked around it. I've done Silverstone, Goodwood, Hethel and Castle Combe.  Donnington also has regular loud and even some unsilenced days.  Overseas choices are reasonable too.  Anyone interested in tracking their Emira would do well to sign up to Lotus on Track.

I have also bought a Komotec 'can' which should take a couple of dB off the max but I haven't needed to use that yet.  The Emira won't be as loud - not least because emission regs have changed since the Evora.  I'd guess that 97-98dB is a reasonable assumption for the Emira

I'll be very happy if its 97-98db  and looking fwd to finding out exactly what noise level it will have.
