Default Laguna Seca friendly exhausts?

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me whether or not an OEM exhaust paired up with a 70mm test pipe would be doable without letting off between 5 and 6?

If I've read correctly the db limit is 92. I have the stock cat still so I'll run if it necessary I guess but I'd like to see what you guys use or have used without incident there.

I ran with the OEM exhaust with Berk 70mm and AEM V2 and it passed without letting off. Then again that was with 92db limit.

Sweet thanks for clarifying. Forgive me if I misunderstood the last part of your comment but when you said that was with the 92db limit It sounds like they actually go lower than that from time to time? Is this correct? I know they raise it occasionally but those sell out so fast I'd rather not take chances at waiting on those anymore.

Oh wow. In that case I'd probably need to run the cat then. Cool thanks for the heads up!

If you have a stock intake I bet you are fine with a test pipe.

I actually have a K&N fipk, If worst comes to worst I'll take my cat with me and replace it there if needed but I may lose out on a session waiting for the car to cool off though which would suck.

lol I think Speedhunters/speedaddicts or something like that has held events there and had it lifted altogether. I think it was around $350-400 though for the day. I missed the registration by a day or two.
