source needed - RSR muffler

[Darren65]

Darren, why do you think mild steel might be a better way to go? Sound? (we're converting SS Dansk also)

Purely sound.....quite harsh as it is although Nick at Redtek thinks adding something like the double walled inner you posted a picture of previously will help greatly.

I'd be curious as to the difference it makes! Let us know?

All very interesting......we used a Dansk stainless steel twin out exhaust for mine and capped the ends. The advantage being the new pipes enter the same chamber so no internal work needed.

70mm tubing has been used and this was matched to a modified EB Motorsport R fibreglass rear bumper although the spacing works out at 780mm to the centres....







.....I can't say I'm overly happy with the sound and mild steel might be a better choice although think I'll try and fit those inserts first.

Ultimately megaphones sound way cooler!

Cheers,

couple of questions for you , what is a db rateing on the muffler with this done , and what length pipes did you use

John, if you decide to roll your own, let me know if you need a pair of exhaust pipes. (I made a couple of extras)

Hi Keith , right in the middle of fabricating one with a stock muffler , so if you have some to sell drop me a email john@st-classic.com

sure thing; let me check my spreadsheet, and I'll get with you in the morning on it.

My guesstimate using an iPhone app is around 107dB, pipes are about 156mm.

Hi Darren,

did you try Turbothomas, close to you ;-)

One point to note....I was advised to build the exhaust to the car and do so by eye as there are variances with headers, pipes, rear bumper etc. so best to always check first.

I've not tried Turbo Thomas Olivier although always hear good things about them.

Cheers,

I've got a few more pairs of these exhaust tips for muffler conversion if anyone needs them; let me know.
