Patricio,
The reason we’re thinking about them for our GT Open class for the Texas race is because of a few reasons:
A lot of the “GT Open” racers are already running on-road .21 engines with the loudest pipes available (some of them are not legal to be used in IFAR, EFRA & ROAR), just like the 1/8 scales cars, but without INS boxes they’re very loud at the track we'll be running at.
The track at Mike’s has the pit area right up against the side of the track on both sides of the driver’s stand. The track is also sandwiched in between two buildings that trap a lot of noise.
After watching these short videos of a only a few GT cars running a qualifier there, you can hear how loud it was. Watch these videos.

Now try to imagine three full days of hearing 10 to 12 “Non-INS” equipped GT Open class cars on the track at one time. If the sound didn’t bounce off the two buildings and the pit tables weren’t close to the track, it wouldn’t be much of an issue really.
Add those together and a heavy turnout of GT Open class racers and it could get ruff after a while for everyone.
Those are the reasons we’re considering INS boxes for GT Open only for our race in Texas this year. GT Spec class is fine without INS boxes. Like I said, we're talking about it.
Glad to see you agree about the “no sauce” rule Bro.
