Re: Turning in my man card... I want to make the GTRA quieter... best method?
Why all the work converting to a single exhaust? The exhaust looks too low to the ground. I'd think you'd bottom out when loading onto a trailer. Maybe I'm missing something here.

I will probably start a war of words on this one, but here goes...............I thought the cars sounded terrible with the dual exhaust (without a balance pipe between the pipes). A flat horrible resonaty noise with no go to back it up!! |

^ I believe he's during endurance racing in the car so keeping heat/noise away from the driver are important.

Re: Turning in my man card... I want to make the GTRA quieter... best method?
Very nice... seeing your car done up w/ a carb makes me excited for our setup as we have "sister" cars.
In reality I'm going to re-do the current exhaust w/ better/quieter mufflers for now. Going to ceramic coat the shorties and fully coat/wrap the sidepipes.

Re: Turning in my man card... I want to make the GTRA quieter... best method?
Interesting... you didn't happen to weigh it before the mods did you? I'm going to weigh it before the motor work and after.
From what I've read on here it seems that the 2550 was about 200lbs off of reality. They're more like 2700-2800lbs.

It'll be interesting to see what I get out of mine after the swap to aluminum heads and a carb etc.
