The most common mufflers used in drag racing or on pro street cars are Borla & flowmaster.

thanks, its for sale if you know anyone interested.. I bought it after giving up the dragracing scene and got bored of the hotrods.. time to move on again and i want an Ultima next.
Mufflers look neat... The mufflers are not under the car on an ultima so the old flowmasters etcetc tend to look abit old hat!!!!!!!! also i see no loss in power which any exhaust normally takes away??

thanks Guys

I would imagine that they would muffle only if you had cotton wool in your ears..biggrin
I use merge collectors but they don't make it quiet.The turbos do that...

Redvictor beat me to it. 95db is gonna p/off your neighbours and be very wearing on the road. Mind you a V8 behind you who cares;)

but will the silencers last.... i dont mind 95dp as my tiger is louder than that, but when i do an ultima and have to go through a SVA they will mind about the noise.....

thanks for the imputs guys..

still think in the 7 's is fantastic...when i was racing some funny cars were in the low 7's at the pod due to traction.. top fuel bikes in the 6's

fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! i might pick your brains one day as ive looked at twin turboing a ls2 engine or even a big diesel for the ultima(another idea) but costs main problem...costs!!!!!!!always been my problem with getting on with things..i have the ideas and tech knowledge just missing that well paid job
