 looks like an adjustable number of 'plugs' in the end to fine tune noise
level.
 
 Anyone managed to build an easily switchable system ?

David,

The muffler you speak of is call a Super Trap.  It is a straight through glass
pack (fiberglass) muffler (2" id) with replaceable and stackable plates on the
end.  I run one on my 1964 MGB vintage racer on the street.  I have no other
muffler, just a 2" exhaust pipe from the header to the rear axle where I have
the muffler.  At the track I remove the Super Trap and replace it with a
length of 2" exhaust tubing and clamp it place.  Best of both worlds.  Without
the muffler and a straight through exhaust system I'm running about 97 db.

I hope this helps,
