I had installed a Monza exhaust in my TR4 project and found (as many others
have) that it was a bit loud for my tastes. The good news is that I found a
simple solution.
J. C. Whitney sells Pipe Baffles for motorcycles ( part # 01AW3524N ). I
installed them in the inlet pipe of the mufflers with the bell ends facing
the engine. They came with bolts to hold them in place but I decided to plug
weld them.
I have driven the car about 70 miles now and it is much quieter with no
noticeable loss of power. It is still throaty but at least I can enjoy the
radio.
The baffles cost $3.69 each so it was a pretty inexpensive and took about 30
minutes to install.
