Don't direct it at homeowners or residential areas either.
How about out in the country? Nope. Everybody seems to think that out in the country is the place to go to root around with unmuffled toys at all hours. Nobody stops to consider that the REASON many people LIVE in the boonies is to GET AWAY from that sort of nonsense.
I we wanted to live in the middle of a cluster..... we'd be in the city. Then there'd be some amenities besides.
Perhaps straight up like semi stacks? Judging by the semis I can hear coming from miles and miles away, the orientation of the opening of the straight pipe doesn't do just a whole lot.
Muffle it. It won't be slower, trust me.
