Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these on your merged headers and if so, how is it?

kinda looks like the old spiral incerts of the 70's+80's.that a few co's had on the market. they didnot do a lot then but did some. I started making an all stainless flowmaster type muffler about 8 years ago about 4"X6"X14", never finished it, a fereind gave me a new stainless steel turbo(powertone a co in cali) it was made like a cat two halfs welded at the seams all the way around the endsand sides only about 3" thick 10" wide, with 3 2" perferated tubes inside,all straight through,but it is pretty quiet. I wish they still made it.I think they have gone to the fart cannon style now. |

It should cut the noise down, but it will cut performance.
I made a slip in baffle for mine. I lost 3 tenths in the eigth. And the same with a 3" ID X 16" glass pack. |

It will cut performance? Where do you get your data from?
"Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these on your merged headers and if so, how is it?"
I have one in my turbo down pipe, I like it. I noticed ZERO power loss with it installed, I'm using the three baffle unit. I did remove the cap on the end in the last pic, it did seem like it would be too restrictive.

Sorry, but we are talking about a normal engine. NOT a turboed one. |

Your comment was referring to back pressure and power loss, I didn't see any other way that you could have meant it. Turbo our not, they work. Truth be told, turbo motors are more sensitive to back pursue than N/A. _________________ '67 Sunroof
