I wouldn't powder coat it. (I don't think Powder coat will take the heat anyway)
Do a ceramic or HTC coating. I like: http://www.jet-hot.com/ Be warned, cheap is not in their dictionary. |

I haven't tried powdercoating a muffler yet. Although it takes at least 300 degrees to cure powdercoat, I'm not certain how well it would hold up on a muffler. If you do it, let us know how it works out would ya? I've been considering ceramic coating my muffler when the car goes back together.

I've looked at doing this. It is really too long if you plan on using heat exchangers. Go and measure on your car the distance between the flanges on your heat exchangers and then try and figure out how to fit the muffler between them leaving room for the 90 degree bends to enter the muffler. It just doesn't fit unless you can come up with a way to bring the exhaust out 90 degrees in the opposite direction, and then back 180 degrees toward the muffler.
I think it really only works if you plan on making a custom header for the car with the 2 in 2 out muffler in mind. Demick |

Here's what I came up with a couple years ago for the 2 in 2 out. It is based on late model J tubes connected backward to the heads, and then custom exhaust tubing from there back. No heat exchangers. Note how the exhaust tubes jog outward a few inches on each side to provide enough room for the muffler to fit in between them.

the case is only 18" long, could you cut all but 1 cm off of the inlets, and add 90degree bends and i think youd be really close, and tilt the muffler forward and i think you could get enuff space and bend in there.....
im sure it can.... found the muffler forsale at a rock bottom 96.00 from summit. |

Yeah, that's another possibility. But I live in O.C. So. Cal. I really need to keep the h.e's... 'cause when it rains here - it pours buckets!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chatsmiley.gif)
Thanks for all of the input!!! What else sounds good? Anybody remember the VW "hideaway" exhaust. It's been years but it worked great on my 'ol cal bug. Driveways were a challenge, and speed bumpz. But I suspect that we don't have the ground clearance... |
