This muffler looks like a good cheaper alternative to the Big magnaflow. It's a 5x11x22 3" straight through.

no:
please note: the speakers are not distoring out. Those bass drops are clean, the camera's mic cannot handle my sub; you can see the thing shake when the bass, mmmmmmmmmmm, drops. |
Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should.

too busy singing.

It is whisper quiet from idle to redline, all I hear is the turbo spool up and the bov. It's spooky. The turbo spools up much faster, and hits 15psi about 500rpm sooner too. Seat of the pants dyno feels like at least a 25hp gain and it still needs to be retuned. You said it got louder after 300 miles. What about now? I'm going back and forth between this sucker and the straight through one Brainey uses. Long term review? |
i'm seriously hoping your response is: "its so quiet I have to yell at prius drivers for disturbing the peace" :giggle:

It's still quiet.
I haven't been driving much since the weather has gotten colder, but I did take it out yesterday afternoon for the first time in a while. IDK if it's due to the cold temps here lately, but upon startup it sounded even quieter than normal. I still like it, kinda wouldn't mind if it was a bit louder since it's not my daily but... |

Whats the rest of the setup? any resonators? Cats? All 3" right? |
Straight through 3" to the muffler.

I'm loving everything you're saying.
Thank you:D |

yeah, and you forgort about thermal/fluid dynamics, pressure differentials, and all that jazz.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1343152570 Here is what it actually is: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1361466619 Its not a T. Its not a Y. Its like a reverse V? The gray is the insulation/packing. The 2 "tubes" are similar to the single that the traditional magna has: lots holes in them. The "pockets" are welded sheetmetal. I'm assuming there's packing between the 2 tubes too. Looks like there's packing on the "walls" near the inlet/outlet too. Its not empty on the sides like we originally thought. Basically they made some sort of "pocket" between the 2 tubes inside. Its definitely looking sorta like they were trying to accomplish what Brainey tried to illustrate above. At least I hope that's how it works. Obviously will posts results when its on. It looks and feels top notch though. Can't wait to get it on. |
i want better pics then. GIVE NOW!

Here is a link to the white car Im working on with the big magnaflow no hotdog.
Below these two pictures is a link to youtube, its only just uploaded so I cannot embed it yet. It has a startup and revving. Yes its out of tune deal with it. Listen to my voice and clicking fingers to compare volume. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360579586 Dann |
Bumping this as I have outgrown the annoying drone on my 2.5" FM exhaust.
Any of you guys running either the "dual" 12579 or the "straight" 12578 care to share some more impressions after running these for a while. I plan to just replace the muffler and keep the rest of my current system (Full FM 2.5") as is for now. I just need a bit of quick quietness to stop me from selling the car as the drone from the FM is getting old... (As am I :jerkit:) So which should I order for ultimate quietness? |
Just ordered the Magnaflow 12578 5x11x22 for $106 shipped. It should be at my door by Tuesday next week and hopefully installed days after. :bigtu: I'm excited to see the difference between straight pipe and the big muff
|
Here's the before and after sound clip. The Magnaflow is stupid quiet, at least compared to my old set up. The exhaust is straight pipe with the muffler only.
