Use the biggest mufflers you can fit under the car. More muffler volume makes it quieter. Also, smaller tailpipes make it quieter. You could probably use 2.75" tailpipes with little or no increase...

Just a clarification on my last post. Smaller tailpipes don't run cooler - what I mean is that tailpipes run cooler than pipes upstream, so the tailpipe can be smaller without adding much...

Rick, you might also want to look at your tailpipe size. With everything else being equal, larger tailpipes are louder. You probably don't need 3" tailpipes on a car that runs 12's. Dropping down...

Even if you coat mild steel, the problem goes from oxidation to strength. Mild steel is only good to a little over 1000 F if it is lightly stressed (like headers), but will give up quickly when...

I would guess that most of those high end systems would use Inconel 625 for the plumbing. It is good to about 2000 F, where 304 stainless is "only" good to about 1600 F. The company I work for did...
