<div>Hi Todd. I have a TR-2 and TR-3 street cars. Both have
cams, compression and are balanced, etc. but not quite "full
race", generating about 125 HP. I wanted a system that would
sound good, and last many years of street use. I finished
restoring my TR-2 in 1992. I put on a stock stainless steel
muffler (the TR-2 did not have a resonator), and ran a 2"
stainless steel tube out the back of the car in the stock
location. When I held up the muffler, and looked through it,
there were no baffles. The sound deadening was with material
packed around the hole going through the middle of the
muffler. I think this was pretty much the stock design back
in the mid-50's. The system sounds great, looks stock, and
after 26 years, no problems, no rust, or other damage.<br>
<div><br>
<div>I restored my TR-3 in 2012, and did basically the same
thing as on my TR-2. The stock configuration on the TR-3
included a resonator, but I left it off and went with the
stainless steel stock muffler and straight pipe out the
back. Again, it sounds great, looks stock, and has shown
no problems. The sound is a little different than the
TR-2, but it still sounds great. The difference may be a
small design change in the muffler between 1992 and 2012.<br>
<div><br>
<div>If I did another 4 cylinder TR, I'd do the same
thing again. Good luck.<br>

I have the header and collector. I'm looking for what you
have done <br>
from that point back.<br>
<br>
<br>
It's going to be a street-track car. I've read Kas's book
on optimal <br>
length/diameter vs power. I don't think I want a straight
pipe. (Maybe <br>
I do!) What's the best sounding and breathing system for
these 4 <br>
bangers?<br>
<br>
<br>
Will it sound like 1/3 a Ferrari v12?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Todd<br>
