I have one sitting right beside me, but I havent had time to make a new exhaust using it yet. Hopefully within 2 weeks I should have it on.

cool you have to let me know how it works out are you planning on running any other muffler with it or just the spiral flow muffler

mazdaspeed7

Ill also be running a pair of 24" glasspacks repacked with SS wool. Im going to have my dual outlet headers, a collector, the 3'in/out moroso muffler, then another collector run backwards, my 2 SS packed glasspacks, then a pipe exiting right in front of the rear wheels on either side.

lowrider65

how did you repack the glasspacks with SS

Ok, doesn't that completely eliminate the purpose of the dual header in the first place?

A collector followed by another collector sounds fairly restrictive to me....

mazdaspeed7

Not really, considering the pipe size Im using. 3" for the single part, and 2.25" for the dual part.

Im using the dual outlet header because I already have it. I currently have a true dual exhaust, and Im not happy with it, so Im going to a tuned collected system. the already collected headers arent set up ideally, especially for a heavily modded car.

As for the glasspacks, I cut them open, stuffed with some heavy SS wool, and welded them back.

Cool cool



Why not happy with the true dual??

Theres a FC i see crusing around my area sometimes, he has those mufflers on it. It sounds good, pretty low and deep tone. I've only seen it like 3 or 4 times, cant ever get to talk to him.

Sounds like a weedeater on crack/steroids. Not to mention I would get more power out of a collected exhaust, a cleaner exhaust(main reason), and Ill shave about 30 lbs from my heavy *** mufflers.

How is this supposed to "reduce backpressure"?




Last time I checked air liked to flow in straight lines, not in a spiral...

but thats what it is... a weed-eater on crack!!

Gotta be proud of what you drive... lol....

All those "baffled" mufflers eventually blow the baffle welds, and you end up with a plugged muffler.&nbsp This is also true of the Flowmaster type mufflers with just welded baffles inside.&nbsp The rotary engine generates a lot more heat with stronger exhaust pulses that hammer these types of mufflers.

i just got mine in after the cat, i had to try something and it seems to be working well
( i'm running RB headers, to bonez cat , to moroso sprial tech to apexi N1) it sounds like a rx8 with a cat back

Agreed, I don't understand how that would Decrease back pressure? I am not entirely sure I would believe that shot, Unless there is some sort of really ingenious Fluid Dynamic Engineering going on in that thing!
