[Spridgets] loud but legal exhaust for road use..

[Larry Macy]

Doesn’t help anymore. Either the stereo is set so they can hear it in California or they are on the phone, they’ll never hear you. 

Kevin’s cars sound pretty decent, a bit harsh for my taste, but I would use similar if I needed a muffler now.

(a little , but not too much is good, iirc...and I"d also like to make an evacu-sump set-up soon, so definitely don't want much back pressure for that to work..).
