Rotor shaped muffler?

was wondering if anyone had any experience with racing beat's rotor shaped muffler and how it affects the sound on an NA exhaust. Having a custom made 2.5 inch exhaust and wondering what muffler to get, have a cheapo autozone one for now but definitely wanting to go with something different.

well i bought mine already. I will have it on the car the 19th when it arrives. I just bought it because then i can say I at least have a muffler if i get pulled over plus its RB and Stainless so it adds some bling to my exhaust setup.

A little too expensive for a universal muffler.. If they were $100 a pop I would have 2 on my car...

If you ask RB, the rotor shaped muffler is louder than their regular mufflers which in turn are louder than stock mufflers.

They are cool looking though.

Got it on and it sounds awesome on my 3 inch turbo back. Only issue was fitment on the car but it can be done. You will need an extension to make it exit the bumper or else the bumper melts. Will have sound clips up right away. Definetly didnt expect it this quiet though

It been about a month but finally i have some good videos. It does hang a little bit low but im in the process of getting it a little higher with a different hanger setup. I also personally thing it needs a little different tip so be a little showier.
