Not that I know of. I think they just flag you.

Now I am all bummed. I have headers, high flow cats, and mufflers. All from ARH. It Is not too loud to me, and I am an oldie. This is/was going to be my fave part. Now I probably paid a lot of money to watch other camaro's run around. At least I will get an expensive T shirt.
I bought the 3 day race package. I don't run the strip so come on Camaro Cross.

You may be okay to run as is but if not they will let you know. You can buy baffles that will bring it down & still run. All is not lost.

One of the tricks is to know where they are measuring the sound and not to "floor it" at that point. The flag guy in turn 3 is usually the one doing the readings. Just cruise through the turn and don't floor it until the next turn.
There are several cars that are too loud running at NCM a lot, they just know when to stay off the gas to keep the sound meter low.

I have headers, cat less, and h-pipe with magnaflow mufflers and no issue with NCM’s noise restrictions. I’ve run there 4 times...

Cool deal. I bought this system to get the performance gains without the super loudness..
My friend runs race cars and says it is just right. I say "exhaust should be heard and not felt"

Should be open around 7. I'll double check on that.
