I dont think it will make you that much more competive with it so I would just ignore it and go with whatever class the rest of your mods would put you in.

The exhaust would be fine in stock class but the K&N (I assume this is not the dropin panel filter) would bump you to either STS or DSP.



K&N puts him in STS.

I used to be a real rules hound, but lately I'm thinking more along the lines of "who cares?"

If, say, an accusump stands between me and major engine failure, then why shouldn't I run it? It has absolutely zero effect on my course times.

Sure, I'd be honest about it, and if I ended up in DSP, so what? It's not like I'm trying to be nationally competitive. If I were, I'd pick a different car and dedicate it to the task. Meanwhile, I get to have fun, vs worrying about my engine.
