Looks like I might have just bought myself some time as Laguna
is not going to be an option at 90db.. I will talk to my Muffler guy who
is the man for Norcal Shelby group.... he told me a while back that some
of the Trans Am cars were running two sets of mufflers to get down to 105

My Pantera with the short exhaust will be an issue unless I split the
180's exiting point which is not an option now that I welded those holes
up... The firebird might have a chance but not sure it is worth the effort
in order to run the one event.. have to retune it etc

I did run Laguna the first time this year (105 day) and yes it is a world class
track but to tell the truth I like thunderhill a lot more and with the
new track extension it is going to be awesome.. I did have to build
some new mufflers for Thunderhill a year or two back but a least it is 98 db

I love the out of state tracks- Reno, Pahrump and Firebird... I can run
the 4" straight exhaust on the car and make it seem like I am really
running on a track the way they used to run

My Vintage Can Am buddy stated they were looking at putting mufflers
on them a few years back but I have not heard anything else recently
