76 dB highway is pretty decent, how quiet do you want to go? Maybe try inserts, the spiral or perforated cone style work well in my experience trying to get down to track day sound limits. There's also an L style Ansa muffler, those are pretty quiet.

FWIW, sound is measured in dBs or deci-Bels which are logarithmic air pressure numbers. So 1dB is about a 1.12X change in measurement strength. They do it this way because it mimics the way a human ear works.

From my autocross days, dual down-turned pipe ends are good for about a 1dB reduction on a std dB meter. Never checked 'racket-buster' tips. Having the pipe(s) end on the right side of the car also helps a bit, IF you are measuring like the tracks and cops do.

That is, the meter battery should be fresh and set on C-scale, Fast-response, 50 ft from the track, a foot off the ground (camera tripod) and at right angles to the  driver's side of the vehicle. NOT hand-held or pointed up-the-tailpipe(s). ANY variation in the test will give wildly different answers. CA Noise Police lost several lawsuits for police 'innovating' their dB tests.

i took pictures before and after the test to make sure the meter was in the same position the tips made a 5 decibel difference but it’s still nutty loud.



the interior isn’t in the car to take it down the road, i’ve been dealing with an over temp issue and the weather broke in phoenix so i won’t know till next year but i think i’ll have to  put the car up after 105 outside temp.. too hot to stay cool and use ac with 550hp anyway



gonna get the black widows installed  as soon as i can
