Default IS-F with Joe Z exhaust decibel (dB) on Laguna Seca

Hi CL members,

Does anyone know the exact decibel for a stock IS-F with Joe Z exhaust?

I just want to double check that my stock IS-F with just a Joe Z exhaust should be able to pass the Laguna Seca's 92dB noise limit.

For whatever its worth, I used an "Sound Meter" app on my phone, and the loudest I got placing the phone within a feet on the ground in the garage was 107 dB. I just don't want to drive there and not be able to drive! Please chime in!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input!
After some extensive research yesterday, my conclusion is to just let off throttle between turn 5 and 6 where the sound meter booth is...

Sound meters couldn't pick it up because it was just too dayum crazy!!! I always see LFA's going in and out of Lexus corporate since I work right next to them. I stop breathing whenever I see and hear one right next to me lol
