Default Skunk2 Megapower noise level?

Hello all,
I'm booking a track day for brands hatch coming up in April and I'm not sure whether I would need to buy some silencer bungs to get within the noise limit :/
static limit is 98db and drive by is 87.5db. Any help on the matter would be great.

Thanks in advance.

If you find the silencers make any difference let us know, I want to do Thruxton this year but the 90db limit is nuts!

126 db at 1m (3ft) distance

With silencers it is more quiet, you can put one or two silencers and have 3 different noise levels.

idk if you still have this exhaust but could you do a decibel reading at 18ft (6m) away?
I am asking because someone is offering me a Skunk2 Megapower for my s2000 but I live in California and California has STRICT exhaust noise laws now.

Hi. I easily passed the static test at Brands with my HKS Spec L but then was way over the drive by (between Paddock Hill bend and Druids I think) due to induction noise. The K&N is gone now for that reason (although not had the chance to go back there yet).

I guess what I'm saying is don't just be worried about exhaust noise levels..!
