   Dont panic my MR2 was fine 115db
   
   Actual limit is 103/5db iirc but I've never seen it enforced.

   That 1/4 mile runs Fcs dose a really track, and thing like that will be ok as it speclist like f1 cars and other race events.
   
   But at Fcs they are bit more relex like most car shows!!
   
   A normal track day, will be tighter on the limits I seen a few car been taken off due to noise.

   Last year there was a 500bhp 205 turbo that sounded like a bloody fighter plane and that was allowed. So dont see why a vtr with a decat would be too loud

   As said I think limits at FCS are quite leaniant.
   Be surprized if it's louder than 105db.

    They don't measure at FCS. You'll be fine.
    
    I'm tempted to find a screamer pipe for my vRS before FCS
