Of course what "properly muffled" means is open to interpretation. My
Evo running with muffler-delete and cat-delete pipes is still much
quieter than a lot of non-turbo cars equipped with "token mufflers"
because the turbo effectively acts as a muffler. I've seen cars run
this way at Nationals where people can be notoriously picky about the
rules and it didn't seem to be an issue.
I say if it's quieter than gunfire, it's probably fine for the
Candlestick Point area. ;-)
