Jon- you'll be fine with sound. Have the FF open intake, header and sport cat. Folks have mention it sounds louder then stock (think it's more that it's a deeper tone), in any case have passed sound at Laguna many times with that setup. Rode in rnr's car at Laguna, inside it just sounded like a open intake but outside the car it's more like a louder exhaust. For the last year or so, they have a rover checking sound, so lifting by the sound station may no longer get you by. Nice to know those 8" exhaust can pass sound, that has been my hold up in doing a upgrade.

What day or you running? Still need to change pads and oil/filter before, my Elise is again track ready.
