Are you talking about a cutout valve or a screamer pipe?

Ehh, to each to his own, personally I dislike that like the plague. But that's just me, if you like it, that's cool too. It is certainly unique lol.

Man!!!

I loveee those mufflers too, Ive been looking around for quite a while now.

My friend sent me a pic of this:

Which appealed to me even more than the smooth turndown.

Ive decided to just try finding some thin walled stainless steel tubing and welding one up myself, but if anyone can find a nice turndown that wouldnt involve fabrication that would be slick!!!!!!!

Ya, That would work too, but I really like the broken up look of that mufflers tip. I would prefer that style If I have to fab it myself, but I would be cool with smooth one if available this side of the ocean, at a decent cost.

That looks like a Rotaflow muffler made in Austrailia. Probably the best rotary muffler made. A screamer pipe is the pipe that comes off of the wastegate on a turbo setup that is not plumbed back into the exhaust system, dumps straight out to the atmosphere and, well, screams when the wastegate opens up to relieve overboost pressure.

Considering doing that on the TII swap, should be a hoot in traffic, lol.

Im glad im not the only fan!

Ive looked at those rotaflo ones, but for about 340 USD its a lil out of my price range.

I was thinking about getting a round style borla muffler and adding a dump style tip to it.

Fibremaz, how much are we looking at for those style tips?

Thanks for all your guys input, im glad I got such a good response. Well except for that one noob lol

Dump tip or actual muffler?
Rotaflo's are a great muffler. I run them on both of my PP's and also have the rotaflo resonators on one car. I know the manufacturer of the Rotaflo mufflers personally so if you guys were interested in a GB (even a small one) I can surely help out.

Does anyone know a site that's easy to upload sounds onto? I can put up a few clips with Rotaflo's fitted if so
