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.

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.

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....

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.

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...

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.

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!
