    Are you able to take it with you and fit on site if required?

    I have a Leo vince gp pro exhaust with 2 baffles
    I can take the biggest one with me but to be safe I was thinking of fitting the original exhaust
    Don't fancy being told I cannot go on track for the sake of a cuouple of hours in the garage tomorrow
    But then that is a pain putting it back on again

    Are you able to ride to the track mid week while theres a track day on and get it noise tested in advance?

    Fair point. There will be some form of mechanical support service if you need help getting the noise level down, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and get the bike ready so there are no surprises when you get there.

    Original exhaust it is then
    I was kind of leaning towards that anyway just don't like the flat spots it has when riding with it
    Only for a day I suppose
    Cheers for the input

    Maybe a bit late but I've done track days at Silverstone over the last two years with the leo vince gp pro can with the small baffle inserted both 98db limit and had no trouble at all.

    Ha ha
    Just been out to get some fuel and instantly hated the lag in power
    Also could not believe how quiet it was
    So tomorrow night I will put the gp back on and go with the big baffle and hope for the best

    At least you found out in advance.
    If it's still a little noisy on the day then track support should be able to do something with the baffle to quieten it a little.
