The 3" system at the time was over 100" with two mufflers and the Super Trap
on the end. Some of the local circle track cars run the Super Trap right
outside the passenger door. The Super Trap is actually a flame suppressor
required by the Forrest service at one time for logging equipment. It just
happens to be a good muffler. I don't think you could hurt one, no matter
where you mount it.
