i just put on a rb road race header, with custom stuff in between, then into a rb power pulse muffler...and it won't shoot flames anymore ...i hadit all stock with a flow through muffler before and it would backfire and shoot flames like it was nothin...and now i knock out the reactor and get a header and it stops? i don't know if i like it...does this sound normal?

chicofoundglory

you might of been burning the packing in your muffler and it's all burned up now

Druken

Why do you want it to shoot flames?

Firstgen_Driver

its fun i like it...its something that kinda makes rotary motors unique

its a basically new muffler...its less than a year old...i doubt its burnt up...rb is known for quality

Prob because he wants flames? Cant think of anything else.

The backfire/flamethrower is caused by air getting into the exhaust. Did you have an exhaust leak before?
Also, plugging off the anti-afterburn valve hose that attaches to the back of the intake, will stop the flames. Go figure, disabling the anti-afterburn valve, stops the afterburn.........

Firstgen_Driver

yea i had a little leak before but not much.......and lol i figured blocking off the anti-afterburn valve would help this......but i guess i was wrong lol

The RB mufflers are chambered. If your old muffler was straight through it would have been easier for the flames to make it out. If you eliminated some exhaust leaks, that will reduce afterburn.

Yep the RB mufflers are chambered you're still getting flames, but they are staying inside the RB muffler. GAWD I hate those things... LOL!

It will also throw flames if it is running rich enough, in the case of the FC's since they are tuned rich from the factory and eliminating the cats will cause them to shoot the flammage

They're quiet and sound good enough, but I don't want one on my car.

just stick a huge fart can on it like i did, i actually thought it was way too loud that i put the silencer on it, i could take it off but it's just awefully loud, but i'm not big on loud things lol.

Firstgen_Driver

i had a flow through twin tip on before..it was pretty loud but sounded decent...but i want something that has a grumbly tone and doesn't sound to ricey

yeah i do get judged for being a ricer sometimes :P but w/e lol

Firstgen_Driver

lol true story...even if i dropped a sbc in it i'd still be concidered rice...but it could be worse

Yep, RB's are quiet. I've done the loud thing and on a DD it's not something I want. I would honestly check into some Borla mufflers if you want louder but still with some nice grunt

Firstgen_Driver

i really want a borla but they can get kinda pricy

Rogue_Wulff

Yeah, I have a "Fart cannon" on my car. It came on the car. Kinda loud, especially after I added the RB header. I plan to install the pre silencer once I get the car raised back up some. Right now, I'd be afraid of knocking it off, on a pebble......

i plan on getting headers for mine, but now it's all stock up to the muffler and it's a fart can so..as long as i have the silencer on the can its only extremely loud when i got past 4k rpm lol, the rest of the times is tolerable
