There is obviously not enough discussion of mufflers on this site and Britt could surely use another thread on this.
So, the question is:
Can someone please detail the installation of those newfangled muffler needle bearings and/or the roller muffler and list the benefits of each.

Well, let the arguments begin

And, just so it's not OT, which muffler is best for making a completely bone-stock smogged 1.8 feel (and sound) like a ferrari while on jackstands?

If you want it to "feel" like a Ferrari...it's the "muffler" (silk scarf) you wear around your neck that'll do it....

Load this onto your iPod, put headphones on, sit in your car, hit play.

Believe me its going to be a lot closer to sounding like a real Ferrari than any muffler bolted to a 1.8. biggrin.gif

Mufflers are old schools. What we need are exhaust amplifiers not exhaust mufflers. beer.gif
