Banzi trust me his is WAYYYY louder! The spintech mufflers really don't do much muffleing, and I would never suggest for anyone to buy them, unless you buy a truck/RV, because they are supposed to be the quitest. But they are built VERY nice, and give pretty much little if any back pressure, I suppose that would be good for turbo cars, but not great fot NA's. I wish I would have know that before I built the one on AE_racers car.

Also for everyone that said that exaust wouldn't last longer that 1 week, AE_racer your gonna have to tell how it's holding up.

i know spintech mufflers will hold up cuz there a completely different design... i will say one thing tho... the only thing there good for is V8s!!!!! i used to be into honda tuning.... they gave us a free 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust with a spintech muffler for an integra type R... with stock exhaust , jdm itr header, aem CAI it dyno'd at 177 pretty strong for an ITR... with spintech exhaust and highflow cat.... ( same day dyno.... took the exhaust off put the spintech one on ) the car dyno'd at 170 flat.... =\ the muffler design i think is only good for v8's or that sort cuz they put out awesome numbers on those big v8's.... anyways if you think im bs'ing i beleive the owners name is Chris Anderson... or that sort i went to his shop before... well organized cool guy too.... but hte mufflers just dont seem to work on these low displacement cars..

I went 3" because I had a 3" spintech and some 3" tubing and mandral bends on the shelf. New parts are on order. These parts will go back on the shelf for future use on another project. I still want to get a dyno run on this combo though.

The mufflers have lasted well over 2000 miles, and much longer than just a week or two

I love the Spintech mufflers. They are designed and built very nicely. I never said they were quiet though! My friend does have 2 of them on a V8 and that is one awesome machine. I guess the rotaries should sick with a muffler that uses some sort of internal packing rather than baffles. I knew it would last longer than 1 week!

Would the Rb Road Race Header and The N1 duals from apexi be very load on a NA. Would that sound good?
