Perhaps TBM could do some db tests on the stock muffler then?
Catpower, what plane do you intend it for?
If you are worried about noise would you be prepared to use a canister?

On the bold, as a DLE 30 owner, that's what I'm wondering? What are these engines being used on? I haven't read everything, but it appears that the PTE36R engine has significantly more power than the DLE. The 10-12lb DLE 30 powered planes I'm aware of in this class are already grossly overpowered, and the 50cc class planes are too heavy? Where are the 12-14 (maybe 15?) lb, 1200 - 1400 sq in planes these might work best on? Or is the plan to build an ultra light weight 50cc class?
