I really have not addressed that issue yet, I might try a longer muffler body with
larger diameter built by the guys in LA that build mufflers for rotorary's. They are a little on the pricy side but seem to know a lot about sound control.
The American Autox Series has been pretty good about letting me run it although it is loud and Button Willow does not have sound limits that I am aware of. I really need to get out in the garage and finish preping the car for the new engine but it is so damn hot I can't work more than an hour or two in the morning. I have to put on the race suspension, a new oil cooler and replace all the lines that have nasty bits and pieces in them. I have my new wheels but they have to be torqued , siliconed and have tires mounted too.
The car has to be corner weighted and aligned along with everything else. I wish this were early spring, but that is the way it goes.

I thought by now you would have an A/C for the shop. When my wife built her 4 car garage her brother in law had an insulation company . She was up in the attic running the blow in hose and her kids were supposed to be listening and relaying information. to the guy running the insulation truck. She said the insulation just kept getting deeper and deeper, , at about 4 ft it finally stopped. the truck was empty. The concrete block walls are also insulated and when the temp runs from 60 at night to 90 day temp the garage doesn't get over 70.

I would really like that, I am working out of a slightly over sized 3 car garage with bare walls and open ceiling, with two fans it still gets over 100 in there all the time. My engine shipped Friday from Detroit so I have to get off my rear and get the frame cleaned up and ready along with swapping the suspension.
My goal is to be running before the end of August. The subdivision I am in will not allow me to add on to the garage so I am stuck with what I have.
How is health Tim everything ok now?
