Default Anyone have pics of mufflers mounted at the collector's?

I'm thinking about ditching my exhaust. Wanna go mufflers just past the collector. Any pics or part's posted is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys. I wanna go with non bullets because Etown has alot of restrictions on event days when it comes to db's and bullet mufflers. I was thinking if there are non bullets that would fit under there I could pass tech and save a little weight in the process by getting rid of the extra pipe.

If you go spiral flows, you should be able to stay pretty quiet. I consider mine pretty quiet cause i can still listen the radio while driving.

Mine were Flo-Pro Twisters (Similar to the Spiro Flows) They were not that loud. Similar to my duals with Sweet Thunders that I have now.

I have the magnaflow mufflers. they are a straight through design, but they were about 1/2 as quiet as bullets were(aren't? hahah)

this is a shitty video of some shakedown/problem runs i was doing, but you can still see where the mufflers ended up. after looking at it, you can't really see them all that well, but they fit and don't bang. good for street driving, then take off for the track maybe? 1:00 minute mark is best shot

they are 4" height and like 20" long

I really appreciate the video BUT, hehe at the 1:20 mark on the vid it looks like the exhaust hits the floor when your wheels come down. You can see the sparks.

not the exhaust hitting, it's from the car spinning and it hit's the limiter on the spray, REALLY bad so small flames i didnt do any "clearancing" on the bottom. passenger side is fine, that driver's side just needs to go past the seat brackets

Really? I would have thought it would have made more power, maybe you needed a tune? Too loud huh, well Etown wouldn't let me race if it was too loud either.

I saw that set up in another thread, I like it alot. I'd never pass tech on an event day with those bullets though.

i got the diea from next's pics i had seen in another thread. i lost a LOT of low end power with that set up. here is a pic of my setup. its loud but nothing like it was off the collectors. i LOVE the way it sounds now and the car feels faster.. it may just be in my head lol




oh the reason the muffler is bent like that is when i had it off the collector i flaten the muffler for ground clearance. i did have the other one on but uuummm i kinda fell off. lol

if you lost a LOT of low end power, it wasnt from that exhaust. that exhaust with the y pipe is still restrictive. put it on the dyno or put it on the track. i bet its in your head. the car just makes more noise to get the car moving compared to the quiet exhaust imo.

Back when I had Borla XR-1's on the car I had them dump at the axle. Same general idea though.





Here are a few clips of what it sounds like. There are more in there if you go looking around.
