Working out installing a msds T4 header and am considering muffler options. My first choice was to attach a flowmaster to the end of the collector and add a tail pipe....header exits on the driver's side.
It is turning out there may not be enough room since the header collector and reducer put the flange out near the end of the trans. I can route the pipe and muffler across the back and exit the passenger's side but then I need to change my valance. I think curving the pipe back to the driver's side will be tight; and hard to find a shop to spend the time. I remember seeing some kind of 911 muffler, banana type, that had the inlet and exit on the same side. Was that a custom job? Are they effective? Has anyone done this setup? How do you mount the muffler? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) ing my thread to post an update.
After playing around with the looks of the car and making it a little more racy, I'm came to the realization that the car was too quiet. Sounds great but too quiet. I totally recommend the Magnaflow to anyone looking for a deep tone sound without much of an increase in volume from stock. ...and i'm running a header too. So I did some research, measurements, etc. and decided on a SpinTech "Camaro" type muffler. These have a single inlet and dual outlets. Spintech builds these to your specs if not already available. They did a 2 1/2" inlet and dual 2 1/4" outlets for me and I had it in 4 days from SoCal. Looks low but really isn't; just cause of the color... still higher than engine/tranny... Different welder.....this guy is in Chatsworth and is awesome....former Porsche mechanic from TRE. Look at the quality of the welds/bends....very satisfied. New sound? Unbelievable!! Louder-Yes Deeper-Yes Racy-Yes Yes Yes car has a Ferrari ish growl between shifts that I'm really liking, I know why they call it "Spin" Tech now. It's like a really deep BRRRRrrrrrrr[size=5] as the revs go down..... |
