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.... |

I'm running a 2in/3out muffler, something like they had on the rally cars. It's actually a 2in/1out muffler that was modified to add the 2 sport muffler exits and modification to the internal baffles.
I have caps for the 2 sport pipes, so i can quiet it down if i want. I'm running it uncapped for now as my wife says that it doesn't sound like it should with the caps on (and i listen to what she says!!!) In the 2k to 3k rpm rang, there is a low resonance that fills the cabin. I kinda like it. I usually dont step on it around my place so no complaints. It is pretty civilized above 3k rpm and you can hold a conversation on the highway (speak loud). Once you get on the go pedal, it screams! Like the way it should!!! I was running this exact when i had the 2.2. The sound was way different. It sounded more like a airplane with the 2.2. With the 3.0L it's more of a deep rumble than a high pitch sound.
