What about a metal core cat? Be a little PC and shave a few db.

We ran a dynomax bullet on a spec miata for years and never had a problem. But I can say that it doesn't cut the sound down like a big glasspack or cat.

as far as testing....this may be a good chance to finally put the magnehelic gauge i have to work... |
That's what I meant, bullet muffler. We couldn't figure out how they collapsed either. The outside of the pipe looked perfect. The inside looked like someone took a pair of vise grips to a coke can. These were all mounted mid-exhaust with no cat, so our theory is that they have serious problems dealing with heat. I've seen it first-hand twice and heard about it from quite a few others.

I've also seen resonators and flex sections buckle inwards.
In fact... the rattle/vibration I'm dealing with is either a joint in my exhaust or something crapping out in my resonator already. Hopefully I figure it out tonight. |
Fortunately (or unfortunately) my massive exhaust rattle turned out to be the heat shield on my universal catalytic converter - which is being swapped out for my 200 cell metal core this weekend... if the USPS decides to finally deliver my flanges. :sleep:

yup, thats official

Going with clamps for now untill I can get it welded. Simply shoving it on my tailpipe and it reduces the overall volume just a tad, removes a but of resonance so it's not so annoying, shoudl be good. should have it finished in a bit, it's hot as a coffee mug out there!

Drove about 45 minutes in stop and go traffic, much improved. The loud ricer whine is gone when I get in boost, and the overall booming resonance of the exhaust is gone. I iz happier.....I'll get some vids tomorrow when it's not raining.
