I wish we'd had time to take Rodger to this place:

Stole this from another forum. Says they are SBC and NOT LS. :sieg:


Here are a couple of muffler photos that I took in the garages at the V8 Supercars race at COTA last weekend. Note that these cars are relatively quiet for anything that you will hear on a race track. The World Challenge Cadillacs and the GT3 Cup cars were, by far, the loudest cars on property all weekend.

Mufflers and exhaust are apparently not a spec item with this group. While one of the Erebus cars appeared to use a pair of Borla-looking mufflers (with no crossover, H, X, or whatever until after the mufflers, which was basically the tip as well), one of the Tekno cars used a pair of these fabricated mufflers.

Each muffler appeared to be fabricated from 3 parallel perforated tubes that were welded together, and contained on each end by a 3-into-1 collector. This assembly was contained inside the larger outer tube with a pair of end caps. According to the team, there was no packing inside the mufflers; they were just hollow inside. All of this did a pretty good job at quieting the 7500 rpm E85-powered EFI 305-inch SBC (not LSx) under the hood.

Very cool Dave. I've been using this in my boat for 10 years. Same concept. Got pulled over for over 91 Db, though :doh:

Now that would be a cool weekend, thanks for sharing! I like to see all of the engineering that goes into those cars.
