Wayne,
When I was younger the trick was headers with a port that could be opened when you wanted the "sound." Some off the guys had caps with pipe thread others had a plate that was secured with 2 bolts that were easy to remove.
Who needs mufflers when you are young and want the "sound"?

PS. One of the old muscle cars with a throaty exhaust still turns my head.

Thinking of a quick connect system to attach to the existing 6 straight
pipes to hush her down, but to allow quick reversion to NOISE if I have
someone piss me off that I want to deafen for a couple years!

Was attending a nice fly in at a wonderful little grass strip about 10
miles
from my home when an old friend flew in in the UTVA that he was trying to
broker off. During his obligatory fly by, women, children and small
animals
were crying in pain and seeking shelter.
C'mon, Wayne. A man who motors about in Corvettes and, I believe I recall
a
GTX, has got to appreciate a 185 on the roll. There's something about
testosterone that makes us enjoy powerful noisy things. (especially if
they
come with breasts, huh?) Most boring air race I ever saw was the L-39's
at
Reno. Kinda like a vacuum cleaner derby...
The UTVA, however, may be over the edge.

Subject: Re: I picked a Prop and PSRU!
Addressing Mike's comment about why the float planes typically make so
much
noise; a real common plane seen on floats is the C-185. Commonly
seen,
maybe not because there are more of them but because they're powered
by
the
Continental IO520D. When these planes take off, you're bound to look,
because of the scream of the prop. Most of the big block
Continentals,
as
well as the Lycomings are rated at 2700 RPM. The 'D' series, however,
is
rated 300 H.P. @ 2850 RPM, for 5 minutes. So, the answer to the
noise
issue is really simple; in order to make the 300 H.P. to haul that
pile
of
aluminum off of the water, the governor is set to bump at 2850. If
the
engine doesn't turn rated RPM at WOT, then it aint producing rated
horsepower. You can tell a 185 breaking water from MILES away.
Probably not P.C. to say it, but I kinda like that sound.
