Finishing a 5 year build of a RHD drive 33 hot rod with supercharged coyote 785hp.
Its fun but the exhaust is way too loud to pass regs here.
Rather than wreck up my perfectly good mufflers I bought some magnaflow XL 3 chamber turbo mufflers and have mangled them up.
Its possible after I pass inspection there may be the old mufflers going back in although that would be naughty.
Anyway they still aren't quiet enough, I need more baffling and/or flow restriction (yes, that hurts, but whats a few hp off 785 still batsh*t. assuming they will stay in the car of course).
Here are the innards of these 3 chamber mufflers. Arrows are direction of flow.

I have a whole load of No 2/3 steel wool, I was going to pack the two outer chambers with that, and maybe tackweld some sort of perforated divider or something in that middle chamber so the wool doesn't just get blasted out the exit pipe.
I have no idea whether this is a dumb idea or not. I might go past a muffler shop and see whats in their recycling bin ask some advice but thought I'd post on here see if anybody knows their muffler design could advise.
Obviously don't want to over-limit flow and munt the engine. My first attempt at beer-can restrictors stalled the engine, and got blasted out the back of the car somehow, so that was a big fail.
