Default track sound elbows?

Did a search but no luck on this topic.......

What do you track guys do to pass sound on tracks that have sound restrictions? I'm getting my 07 Z06 ready for the track, but I'm guessing it will not pass sound at Laguna when I go WOT.

Suggestions besides short shifting?

I remember reading about an insert for the exhaust system awhile back. Supposedly, it worked well for track guys and did not have a negative effect on horsepower. If I can remember the name I will post. I used to have the site book marked, but lost the info when I had a hard drive die.

Updating this thread............I've successfully run many 92db Laguna track days with my stock c6z, but got meatballed on the latest day, which was 90db (I was tagged at 92.2db). I understand many available track days will be 90 db days in the future, so I need to find a solution. I'm not willing to alter my exhaust tips in any way nor mar them, so looking for someone who has successfully implemented exhaust tips/elbows on a c6z.
