Are you throwing shots from SLB

Not throwing shots, but definitely using your lessons learned. My luck would have both exhausts falling off at the kink when I come to RA

Special delivery from @navseng today. Thanks dude for the machining - the machining is top notch. And thanks, @5.2 liters of democracy for helping with the CAD.

The remote oil filter blocks have a unique thread for the sensor for my specific oil temp/pressure sensor (M10 vs factory 1/4npt) and I deleted the other 12orb port since I have a dry sump.



And then of course are the block braces for the sequential. I'll share installed pics this weekend!

These were fun projects, thanks for bringing me in! Brian's work is gorgeous. Can't wait to see them all mounted up.

How do you see over the air filters? Seems like an odd design.....

That was a temp setup while we worked on getting the car fired. Final setup will be something more like the below with the areas that aren't ducted (left/right of the air cleaner and where the OEM trans/engine oil cooler go blocked off):

welp, there's no going back now. This exhaust is going to be absolutely ridiculous

I sure wish we could do this out here.
I would poke a big 4 1/2" 2 into 1 out the passenger side in a heart beat (stockcar style) but I wouldn't make it 2 laps before being black flagged no matter how many mufflers were under it.
Just aiming it towards the meter is db suicide.

yeah - I thought about that long and hard. I'm going to have a version that allows me to drop the loud setup and switch to a quieter setup with just a couple vbands. But i don't think i'll ever pass some of the crazy 93db and 96db requirements you guys have. that's just insanity


It's wild to me that even tracks like THill have a noise limit!

This gets me to 103db, maybe a little less.
Could never make anything in the 90's and definitely can't poke it out the side or out the back.

If you ever need more, these dampen more than anything I've heard https://www.ticonindustries.com/collections/thin-oval-mufflers

@Tonymustang302's 500 has them and I was shocked at how quiet it was at full throttle. Quiter than stock sport mode and he's catless.

That's essentially what I have (Design wise) but in stainless.
There are some shorter ones (same muff, a few inches less length) I am thinking of trying out but they are strict out here, you blow the meter and you go home.
These have kept me clear of the meter and its hard for me to take a chance to save a few pounds......but I might.

Any feedback available on any impact on power (positive or negative) after those Ti mufflers??

Food for thought - the dB meter at Road America is after turn 3 just past the cheese bridge on the left next to the flag station (turn 4). Their limit is usually 103 dB’s for us types.

There are several parameters that vary when taking sound measurements....103 at one track may be very different at another.
Something to keep in mind.
