And at the moment it is the only site, old airstrip at Ft. Devens, other
than NHIS. Even at NHIS when we are there the same weekend as the Regional
and National Roadraces, we still have to run 90db. At Deven's it is a big
open former Army airstrip, not a public library. One of the neighbors is
suing a former airforce pilot that is allowed by FAA rules to fly over the
site doing various maneuvers, but because our legal system lets this guy
sue, he is suing a few of these former military pilots. We are doing
everything we can to save this site, but still may loose it if they make the
old Ft. Devens the Town of Devens which will mean a lot of development at
the site. Look on Goggle Earth and this site is in the middle of nowhere
USA. Well at least for NE! Going forward the new track proposed in Palmer
MASS may be our only site other than the small handicapped parking lot at
NHIS! Plus NHIS is at least a 4 hours drive for most of us!

When Tony says "just squeaks by", that is in the public library like sites
they have. I have run against this car and it is SILENT in comparison to
an
open Aaen/Rotax!

I added one of these on each pipe,
welding up an adapter to my
dynotune pipes (which already contain fiberglass
packing that I
replace frequently), wrapped the big parts and every other
accessible
pipe, added a padded sound-deadening box around the carbs and K&N
filters (often mentioned here by Bobby J), and still just barely
squeak by
on sound. Often, I have to add right angle adaptors that
aim the Aaen
mufflers straight down. These mufflers are well made and
light weight.

Yes it does. From Aaen it
actually comes as a solid round alum pipe,
about .125" wall thickness. I
hack sawed a groove in mine for clamping
it on. It must be easy to take off
because IT'S ILLEGAL, still,
after 4
or 5 years now of SCCA
indifference. Hence at "important" events I
have
to take it off. The
length past the rear axle is something like 3 or 4
inches longer than the
24" rule. But then again, who would ever
protest
someone for putting a
muffler on their car?
Here's a link ... I use the 3" alum. It looks like
it ought to be
heavy
but it's really quite light.

body deadens sound much better than steel
John, does that muffler
bolt on to the end of the stinger?
