Even then, the car has gone over depending on conditions, so I made up some elbows for the tail pipes to divert sound to the left. We also run a 1970 Z/28 air cleaner instead of the usual open element one. It costs 10 RWHP though.
The car sounds very quiet on the track, like a stocker almost. I think the Laguna DB limit is BELOW what the state of California requires.  |
