DURING THE TRANSITION FROM "BOX MUFFLERS" - GEM, REED, HORSTMAN, OPEN HEADERS, ETC. TO PIPES GEM MADE A PRODUCT THEY CALLED THE QUIET ONE. IT HAD A HEADER, A LONG FLEX HOSE, AND A SORT OF OBLONG MUFFLER WITH ONE OUTLET. IT WAS MUCH QUIETER THAN THE BOX MUFFLERS AND WAS QUIETER THAN THE PIPES WITH NO BAFFLES. IT WAS ALSO PRETTY PRICEY AND DIDN'T SEEM COMPETITIVE WITH THE PIPES. THE QUIET ONE AND ITS' KNOWOFFS ARE FAIRLY RARE TODAY.
MY QUESTION IS ABOUT WHAT CLASSES SOMEONE WHO SHOWED UP WITH THIS TYPE OF MUFFLER WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN IN. IT'S NOT EXACTLY A "BOX" BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A PIPE. THIS QUESTION WON'T COME UP VERY OFTEN, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH THINKING ABOUT IN AVANCE.
