Why Burns Stainless Racing Mufflers

When it comes to lightweight race mufflers, there is no other choice than Burns Stainless. Our mufflers are made in the USA and designed for three things. Minimal weight, maximum flow, and maximum power while still performing the function of a muffler.
🏁 Made from 20-gauge 304 stainless steel – lighter and more durable than titanium alternatives.
🏁 Repackable design for long-term performance.
🏁 Trusted in racing applications: road racing, drag, boats, and endurance motorsports.
🏁 Proven at tracks like Laguna Seca, where noise compliance is mandatory.

Single Stage Mufflers

Pure Performance, Minimal Restriction

  • Straight-through absorption muffler.
  • Designed for maximum horsepower with minimal back pressure.
  • Customizable packing options:
  • Fiberglass (best sound absorption)
  • Stainless steel scrubble (durability under heat & pressure)
  • Stainless mesh (endurance racing, extreme durability)
  • Available in multiple sizes and custom lengths.

Perfect when you need lightweight, simple, and effective sound control without sacrificing power.

Two-Stage Mufflers

Tunable Sound Control for Track Compliance

  • Combines absorption + baffled section for extra sound deadening.
  • Delivers 2–4 dB more noise reduction compared to single stage.
  • Tunable:
  • With insert → quieter, meets strictest track rules (Laguna Seca, etc.).
  • Without insert → freer flow, less restriction, but still some muffling.
  • Power tradeoff: about 25 HP reduction on a 600 HP LS7, but allows you to race where noise limits apply.
  • Modular design makes it ideal for racers who switch between track days and unrestricted events.
