That's me.
I ordered some silicone plugs from McMaster-Carr to plug the valved tail pipes, thereby ensuring they're always closed. Basically, just shove it in there and pry it around the circumference to ensure they're good and tight. Test run on the road worked alright, one did pop out after about 60 miles, but the tether caught it just fine. The cool part is that they're easy to tether since each fascia tip has two holes to let condensation out. I need to come up with a better tethering string/wire material. Saftey wire is kinda overkill. I'll keep playing with it. I have some time until I can get back to AMP (which has a 96db limit) to actually test it on track.

Nice let us know how it holds up on track with the 500 degree rating. I have yet to run AMP as I don't have a car that will pass sound.That's me.

Thanks. Laguna was usually 92db while I was living there a few years ago. I know there have been 90, 89 and 88 days also.Matt that is really cool! I always wondered what a workaround could be to run at Laguna Seca. I think Laguna tends to set the limit at 92db? I know I saw before at one point what the normal mode high db is, but I can't for the life of me remember. Does anybody recall? I can't wait to see how this works out for you on the track. Nice work.
I raced there in November. On Thursday and Friday it was either 89 or 90. On Saturday and Sunday they raised it to 92. I didn't know if that was pretty much their limit.....guess so. I think I saw somewhere that with the valves closed the 350 was still about 96?Thanks. Laguna was usually 92db while I was living there a few years ago. I know there have been 90, 89 and 88 days also.
