It's gonna sound basically like a straight pipe...
Hopefully it won't be as blatty and unrefined as straights are.

the fins are supposed to be positioned to where they suck up the exhaust flow cuase thats how it will help muffler it. it might hurt flow a little bit but not nearly as bad as the sweet thunders

That's what I figured. I wonder how it would sound with the fins facing the other way. I know it wouldn't work as well for sound supression, but might still give it a throaty sound. Do the powersticks have fiberglass packing under the fins? You should post a sound clip when you get it put on. I'd like to compare it to my GMMG.

the ST sounded great at idle and screamed WOT but too glasspackish for me during normal driving... i don't think you'll get as much of that with the powerstick though.

There's no padding and they flow great, better than a glass pack bullet muffler does. The GMMG mufflers aren't all that different in concept. These are deflection mufflers as opposed to aborbsion mufflers like glass packs.

by the way richZ, what size powerstick do you have in your i-pipe and is that all that you are using as a muffler? thanks

I am using the Powerstick for my muffler. I had the exhaust from after over the axle cutoff. The the exhaust stop made a y pipe to keep the dual exhaust. I can't remember the size. Have to get back to you on that one. Once it was in there was only a few inches of room left.
