Yes, that particular tip is designed specifically for Roebling and it will pass with flying colors. Sound limit there is 103 db..got Black-flagged there 3 years ago for being over .1db.
Got another interchangeable tip that will surely be louder, have not tested it yet however.

Awesome! I want to go thrash my car on some twisties right now. Too bad it's zero degrees out, and there's 5 inches of snow on the roads...

Thanks Alain,
Yes, the track is a bit narrow but it does have a good flow.
It shares the main straight with the drag-strip which is not ideal, the track owner either tried to save money or ran out of real estate.
It is however the only road course in Louisiana.
Of course, I wish it looked like Barber but...
Regards,
Steve

As long as they don't hold the drag races at the same time, no problem hey?
Haaa, your lucky to have that track Steve.
Sooooo quiet. I like how it sounds in the car, really.

Yeah Greg, it almost has that schrill staight-cut gear sound those euro cars have.
Will be testing the unrestricted tip soon, perhaps at MSR-Houston on the 31st. Curious how it will sound and if it affects performance any.
How long before you thaw out up there?
It's beautifull here, sunny and about 65F.
Steve

You are kidding, right?
What's the Benz? A vintage DTM car Or a hill-climb version?
Cool car anyway!

Naa, the benz in a dream. I have a very clean 190E Costworth 16V that I would very much like to turn into the DTM shown in my sig. Can't get that body anywhere so I may just make it.
Anyway, glad your warm down there. -10 and 6" of snow this morning. But we should be in for a heatwave near the end of the week as it's supposed to get up to freezing (32).
My dog is depressed!

Thanks for the video... I especially like the "woo-hoo!" at the end.
