I can run open megaphones at Willow Springs and (I think) Buttonwillow. But if I venture out to tracks with noise-restrictions, obviously I will need to run a muffler setup.
Car will have Bursch headers, for now. What are my best options? I have seen some nice stainless "can" style mufflers from Coast Fabrication, which look very similar (maybe identical) to the ones sold by Jim Patrick. In terms of stock-ish style, I have heard good things about the Monty stainless 2-in/2-out sausage. There were some at the Dunkels meet this year and they sure looked purty, but spendy (>$600 IIRC). Supertrapps are also a pretty common setup. What are my best options that won't get me black-flagged at the track or arrested if I take the car out on the street, but hopefully also won't kill too much power or wallet-padding either? If I ever take the car up to Laguna, I'm assuming I'll have to meet 92dBA, which is a beotch even in a stock early 911/914-6. The carbs alone make a ton of racket and there's no sound-deadening in the car anymore; plus a GT-style engine lid. (I have a spare stock lid if that helps). |

Brad,
I was talking with Allen Johnson. He likes the flowmasters too... but for Laguna, he was adding a supertrap onto the back of the flowmasters... then sometimes a directional cap to turn the sound away from the meter.. This is starting to sound heavy... I'm really ... really.. trying to save weight. (I spent $ for an aluminum over steel cell for a few pounds).... I was not interested in spending the big bucks... but if a patrick or something out there will do the sounds all by itself and not require the extra weight I'm interested...... P.S. I've heard that some of the small bore motors (2.0) can be louder on the meter due to the higher pitch. what da ya think? I know... sell me the lightest/economical whole set up.. seriously... brant |
