Default What is SMOOTHING? Also dyno'ed 224/224 .583 112 Lookie n here for more!!!

I got the dyno sheet and the car did almost what I'd hoped for...
Dynojet

382@6400 hp
365@4900 tq.

M6 car
224/224 .583 112lsa
all bolt-ons (underdrive pulley too)
LS6 intake
stock tb
NO CATS

ONLY THING I REFUSED TO CHANGE is the stock ORIGINAL muffler and pipe from the y back.

Is this hurting me? (The stock muffler)

I was hoping for 400 but no cigar.

Suggs?

Not bad, sounds right on. The stock muffler is not that great, but it's not horrible either. You'd maybe gain 10hp if you switched to say a hooker catback.

Smoothing just gets rid of the little ripples and jagged points on the hp and torque curves.

Default I do have a NOS SLP muffler (the quiet one) but I'm afraid IT might even be too loud.

For my tastes.
This muffler has some baffles in it

I come from the turbo Buick world where things don't have to be loud. My '89 TTA w/bolt ons and valve springs went a best ever of 11.54@118 with a 1.53 60' and a 2800rpm stall. AND IT WAS QUIET!!! lol.

This thing already has a very sharp almost bark when you hit it. It's cool and I'll get used to it I guess!
