Agency Power Header and Exhaust

So I purchased a Agency Power header and exhaust for my Scion FR-S and find out that my exhaust db level is to loud for the Autocross events I run. The limit is 96db (due to an apartment complex across the road). I asked Agency Power if there was anything they could do to help and they basically said no, it's not our problem.

So, any ideas? I'm not opposed to buying a new system but does anyone else make headers and exhaust and provide db levels? I gave my factory stuff away since I figured I wouldn't need it again. Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

I will have some db levels of the P&L stuff hy the end of the week hopefully, but short of a new axleback, there isn't much you can do.

Another reason not to get Agency Power.

Try putting a silencer on it maybe that would work.

I've been meaning to buy that exhaust, so I mean I wouldn't mind giving you my stock exhaust plus a little more cash...

dB's are probably not something they traditionally test for since there are so many variables. Ex: Non-catted, Resonator delete, open header, Muffler delete, etc.
My adivice would be to run a resonator before the catback to try and tame the beast...unless of course you are running open header. Then I dont think any header system is going to be quiet.

Goodluck
