I'm looking for a new exhaust for the -6. I have an older 2-in, 2-out exhaust which looks like it was a 2-in, 1-out at some point but was modified by welding up the single outlet and adding two log center outlets under the bumper.
I've been looking at the "banana-stylIe" mufflers as well as the custom-style that uses a couple of tubes into a large single Magnaflow muffler. Does anyone have any experience with M&K or another banana-style besides the stock Dansk replacement? What about other custom alternatives? I'm looking for a sporty sounding street exhaust. Thanks for any replies, ideas. |

I like the sound of that Scart as well! I have an M&K "911R" 2in/2out that I like quite a bit as it is stainless, looks and sounds great, and is fairly light weight. One pipe can be capped-off for quieter street use which is helpful to me. However I don't know if Ben is still in business making this and it was not cheap at the time but a bit less than that Scart.
I also have a Triad "quiet" 2in/2out that I may be selling as it's nice too, but I prefer the M&K for my particular application for several reasons. Previously I have had several Dansk, factory and Bursch mufflers over the years on different -6/911 engines. The Dansk version of the 2in/2out sport muffler is also a nice option but I personally just never got into the particular raspy barky sound of that design, and the M&K I've got has even less backpressure (a plus for my current engine). For street use as noted above, I actually preferred the factory banana style 2in/1out in the past especially 1 that I had that was slightly de-baffled as a "sport" mod but still a 1-out. It worked decently with MFI also. I have never been a Bursch muffler fan although some love them. |
