Now the question will be: 4 or 6 cylinders? Power will be increased as well. In the meantime, they will use mufflers the next two seasons. I remember them testing them or at least talking about testing them but they did not incorporate them for reasons I can't recall.

Mufflers you say?

I'm watching the morning warmup from Infineon with nothing but car sounds. Mufflers? Racing should be the loudest thing on earth!

Don't give me a damn turbo then stick a muffler on it. :mad:

I think what he means is that with the current engine package will get mufflers. You're right that if they use mufflers on a turbo engine that it would make no sense.
