The Dynomax muffler is pretty quiet.

Plenty of tracks/events are measuring exhaust noise with decibel meters these days & the allowable noise level is pretty restrictive. Too loud & you can't run.

I've got the oldest drag strip in continuous operation in the US not very far from me and people in the adjacent county across the river have sued and successfully had the track operations restrained.

Some of you guys...reading comprehension is not your best suit. Several rr tracks have noise restrictions and quite truthfully my car is on the loud end of things. The week prior to the race they allowed anyone interested to go see if they qualify. The noise meter is located halfway down one of the straights.

There was only a handful of us that we're too loud, including an open Shelby. I'd give up 5hp to run that track on a regular basis.

Track owners don't dictate the rules as much as their neighbors that move in years after the fact.

Thanks to those who addressed the question. To those who just threw out speculation and whining....not so much.

Stick a bullet style muffler in the i-pipe that should quiet it down some more

I would look for an slp dual / dual or even a stock ss / ws6 exhaust. They dont give up much at all. Then I would add an e cut out to by pass the muffler.

This track has actually been closed for years from what I understand due to financial issues and is just reopening with the idea to try and give it a go. One of the requirements was to limit the noise.

Anyone that runs shorter tracks at 1.5 miles or less loves to run a longer one like this at slightly over 2.5 miles.

Thx for the suggestions guys! For the guy with the slp muff, what kind of price shipped to 85226?

Come thru the gates with open headers and maybe they will call the police.That is sad when you got to loose horsepower to race.

The owner built the track for personal use,he then started having events there and that was not in the initial zoning/ building agreement,that's why it has been closed and reopened several times. Has nothing to do with money.

this is another reason why i love my factory exhaust with the e-cutout. Completely quiet when i want it to be, and varying degrees of loud when i want that! plus it out flows that magnaflow, or any other muffler for that matter, all day long

I've got long tubes and an off road Y-pipe infront of it, so its pretty damn loud when i open it up

Good luck.
I swapped my LM1 for a DD and it's REALLY quiet now, actually too quiet but when I hammer it, it's loud. I have been debating on adding an electric cutout to make it louder when I want.

Glad you're happy with it. Did you install the tips too?

If you want a relatively quiet CB the SLP PowerFlo CB is a good choice. Around town its very tame, even at idle. It only talks when you jump on it. Plus it's a high flow, straight through design that is stainless and light weight.
