In the spirit of not leaving anything alone... here is an attempt to quite it down a little. we have come up with a solution, I still dont know if it will work but it doesnt really matter I just like tinkering with the car, and if it does work you all will definitely hear and see about it, if it doesn't.... well forget everything you see here.
for anyone who has heard my car knows its probably on the louder side of most of the GTs running around, and even though my neighbors are the best neighbors anyone could ask for especially given that most of my cars "make annoying noises" as someone who is not a car guy would say, I still dont want to subject them to periodic annoyance of having a race car shake their house every time I start the car or drive it through the neighborhood. And yes it does shake their house.
so I bought some electric dumps and we have incorporated them into the stainless exhaust on the car, we still have to play around with the size of th e openings in the butterflies, but this is just to muffle the car a little so when I drive through the neighborhood and or start the car its a little more livable.
I thought some of my neighbors were joking when they said ya we can hear you coming from the freeway which is about a mile away from my house until i remembered this vid and realized they weren't!
