exhaust system idea

[James Weiler]

OK legal issues, I didn't think about that part.....uhm, how about only a 
parial bypass then.  What I mean is that the pipe with the butterfly 
valve would protrude deep into the muffler such that most of the baffling 
would be bypassed but not all of it.  Does this make sense?  Guess I need 
to know what the noise limits are for my area and go from there.  Need 
to add a decibal meter to my wish list.

thanks to all who replied,
later
