Default Cheap and safe way to make the Tial wastegate quieter?

Is this possible? How? I like the sound of my Tial wastegate, but I know the police don't. I need to find a way to make it quiet/er but at the same time it must be easy to change back to normal for the track. I found an old thread about a small muffler being used but it wasn't really detailed enough.

Yeah you can put a muffler on that pipe or loop the wastegate exhaust back into the downpipe. I have mine looped back in. Not easy to "change back for the track" tho.

Any recommendations on the muffler to use?

Try a lawnmower muffler.

Run closed loop, it'll be quiet.

Hmm, anything that would match up with your 1.5" dump tube
