I'm trying to figure out a muffler configuration for my carbed 3.2L six conversion.
I like the looks of the megaphones/cookie cutters on the Porsche race cars. However, they are impractical for street use (too loud) and you lose some bottom end power. So... any ideas on another muffler type that can give me the look, be quiet enough to not get ticketed, and not sacrifice the street-drivability? Fire away.... |

What I ended up doing (so far) is a set of cookie-cutter 18" European Racing Headers megaphones for unrestricted track use, and a SS Dansk 2-in/2-out gutted sport muffler for slightly muffled use. I may also need to get a stock-type 2-in/1-out sausage, or a quiet (50-series?) Flowmaster or other setup, for noise-restricted use. My car would have a hard time passing noise regs at a place like Laguna, even with a stock sausage muffler. The carbs and fan noise alone are substantial. (I am keeping the stock airbox around just in case; I thought about selling/trading it, but that might be a bad idea.)
